In the 1970s, women were banned from clinical trials in the United States. Between then and 1993, when US Congress mandated women be included in trials, most of the drugs we utilize today were researched and patented. We are working to address the lack of female-specific data for OCD, including medication side-effects, by building a portal through which participants can enter their symptoms and treatments. We utilized Polygon and ZK proofs for privacy, Proof of Passport to verify humanity and female-only data, and React to build a comfortable UX for non-Web3 native users. As a result, we are building the first female-specific healthcare data lake.

We deployed on Polygon zkEVM Cardona for low costs, privacy, and scalability. We use a transaction relayer for the proof submission so that users don’t need to maintain two accts to remain anonymous, which could have put them at a risk of doxxing themselves. On semaphore, our contract limits each individual to submit data reports once per day to restrict point distribution (which will someday convert to tokens). The dAPP is gated by Proof of Passport, which limits acct creation by gender (and only one per person).
