NOMI

Design research for a better approach to current women's health care

Nomi is committed to improving women's healthcare by enhancing women's autonomy during internal examinations. Research shows that many women find these examinations embarrassing, painful, or even traumatic. It is crucial for these intimate interactions to occur in an environment where the woman's boundaries and needs are respected by everyone involved. NOMI has developed guidelines and informational material for both medical professionals, as well as patients, with a focus on equitable communication. Patients require better communication and more attention to their personal boundaries, while physicians strive for efficiency and professionalism. NOMI wants to recognize these needs in order to integrate humanity and understanding into the caregiving experience. This initiative is not just about raising awareness but also about concrete policy changes within women's healthcare. NOMI seeks to inspire women to assert their boundaries and needs while inviting healthcare providers and policymakers to collaborate on a women's healthcare system where women feel fully respected and supported in their personal healthcare journey.
