54. Bringing Grace and Comfort to the IVF Experience, with Leyla Bilali of Dandi Fertility
Manage episode 422244010 series 3507558
1 in 6 women struggle with infertility each year. The process is daunting, expensive, confusing and emotional. Leyla Bilali, dubbed the “Fertility Fairy Godmother,” has dedicated herself to helping others navigate what can be a confusing and lonely process. She has experienced every side of the IVF journey - both as a practitioner (where she has over a decade of nursing experience) and an IVF patient herself, and now as the Co-Founder and Chief Clinical Officer of Dandi, the world’s first targeted fertility care solutions, pioneering a range of patent-pending products combined with digital health solutions to empower every step of the fertility journey.
WE COVERED:
- The needs of women in the IVF journey are not being properly met in a traditional setting- from products to support and 24/7 attention
- Doctors and nurses don't have the time to allocate the personal attention required
- Dandi is designed to complement the clinicians, not compete with them
- Community is a key factor in an IVF experience-patients need to feel like they are not alone
- Friends and loved ones need a better toolkit for how to support someone going through IVF, and Dandi provides that
