Research, health care and and peer support have lagged behind because of gender-specific challenges, and even though we know that female ADHD symptoms, and treatment effect change across the menstrual cycle, there is as of today the chance mitigate negative outcomes and improve quality of life for a substantial, clinically significant and vulnerable group and their relatives is wasted.

Today, patients health data is fragmented and difficult to access, which negatively affects the entire healthcare system. It leads to healthcare professionals being forced to work in multiple parallel systems, data not being standardized, and innovators being forced to spend valuable time building integrations and collecting health data,instead of on their innovations. Leyr is developing an integration platform for a common application interface (API) to promote interoperability in healthcare. The platform introduces a new and scalable way to build integrations between different systems, ie between health apps, which collect health data, and medical record systems. The platform provides, maintains and monitors integrations for the customer and enables the sharing of health data between eligible parties in a standardized and secure manner.

Hireproof is a recruitment SaaS that helps companies make better hiring decisions, decrease bias in interview situations, and give candidates a human-centric interview experience. Based on organizational psychology best practices, Hireproof makes anyone a world-class interviewer just by clicking a link. The one constant in every company's recruitment is the employment interview. Unfortunately, the commonly used unstructured interview style is notoriously prone to bias and a poor predictor of job performance. The current trend in the recruitment industry is adding more tools, skill assessments, personality tests, and prerecorded interviews, all of which only increase recruitment complexity and dehumanize candidate experience while providing little increase to hiring validity. Hireproof takes the opposite approach. We aim to simplify recruitment and make interviews so reliable that companies won't need anything else to reach the best possible hiring decision.
