Research App

The Apple Women’s Health Study is a first-of-its-kind research study that aims to advance the understanding of menstrual cycles and how they relate to various health conditions. The multiyear study is conducted in partnership with researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

Who knows how many could’ve been the first if they’d had the chance to try. By remembering these important female figures and their contributions to today’s society we want to show girls that anything is possible no matter what they look like, or where they come from. They can change the world.

Here is to all the firsts that make way for the many others. Keep on shining.
