Participatory Research
Ova knows that research should be done with communities, not just on them. Because while numbers don't lie, sometimes, they only tell half the story. This initiative brings patients, clinicians, and researchers together to co-produce knowledge that actually reflects the realities of women's health.
Ova is reimagining how research gets done.
We use participatory research models that center the expertise of patients and community members. That means the women most impacted by care gaps are involved from start to finish:
from setting research questions and designing surveys, to analyzing results and creating real-world applications.
By bridging the gap between lived experience and scientific inquiry, we generate research that’s grounded in reality, clinically relevant, culturally responsive, and more likely to drive systemic change.
Whether it's identifying care barriers, surfacing trends overlooked in traditional trials, or redefining what “evidence” looks like, our goal is to make sure women are no longer an afterthought in the science that shapes their health.
