Mira Introduces First Nationwide Sex Hormones Awareness Week to Close the Knowledge Gap About Female Hormones

Published

on

This annual initiative is set to raise public awareness and contribute to bridging the gap about female hormonal health.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Mira, a hormonal health company providing integrative care and hormonal testing for women, announced the first nationwide Sex Hormones Awareness Week, set to take place from February 18th to February 24th, 2024. With this initiative, Mira seeks to educate people about their sex hormones so that they can make informed decisions about their health.

This annual initiative is set to raise public awareness and bridge the gap about female hormonal health.

Even though society has made tremendous technological and medical advances over the past few decades, in 2023, women are still 20% more likely to be misdiagnosed compared to men. Despite women having a 5-year longer life expectancy than men, they endure an inexcusable 25% more of their lives in poor health. The reason behind such devastating statistics is the underresearch and underfunding of female health issues.

“There is a lack of understanding about women’s hormonal health and how it differs from men’s. The current sex education system leaves millions of American women in the dark about what’s really happening in their own bodies. In Mira’s recent study, 90% of Americans reported that sex education failed to provide them with guidance about hormonal imbalances, fertility issues, changes in the menstrual cycle, and perimenopause. Every aspect of women’s lives is affected by this knowledge gap, including their mental and physical health, relationships, and careers”, – shares Sylvia Kang, co-founder and CEO of Mira.

In light of Sex Hormones Awareness Week, the company released a study on how sex hormones affect mood and well-being. The purpose of the study was to shed light on how hormonal fluctuations impact women’s well-being. The three-month-long study involved 150 women testing and tracking their urinary hormones (LH, E3G, and PdG) at home, using Mira Hormone Monitors.

“We’re dealing not only with the knowledge gap but also with the data gap. Transforming the collection, regulation, analysis, and sharing of this specific data is key to advancing health outcomes. Mira’s AI, trained on 12 million hormone data points, now leverages anonymous hormonal data points of 880,000 menstrual cycles. This enables us to fill in the gaps for women and people with ovaries in healthcare, unraveling the impact of sex hormones on broader health conditions for enhanced study, diagnosis, and understanding.”

Key activities planned for the week include a webinar, “Sex Hormones in 15 Minutes,” the release of a free digital guide ‘Sex Hormones for Beginners,’ and an offline event in San Francisco where Sylvia Kang and other femtech innovators will discuss the role of femtech in bridging the knowledge gap about hormones.

Mira has also introduced exclusive merchandise available for purchase on their website. The company has partnered with US-based non-profit organization Society for Women’s Health Research, and 30% of profits from sales will be donated to them.

“Historically, women’s health and sex differences research has been underfunded, undervalued, and unprioritized, creating a downstream impact on health outcomes for women today. While steps have been taken to course correct, we’re facing a knowledge gap when it comes to women’s health”, – said Kathryn Schubert, President and CEO, Society for Women’s Health Research.

“The Society for Women’s Health Research works to promote the need to better understand sex differences as well as the fundamental hormonal drivers of women’s health. We’re excited to see companies advocating for this work and raising attention through initiatives like Mira’s inaugural Sex Hormone Awareness Week. We all have a part to play in making women’s health mainstream.”

By

BinBase updates its 2026 dataset with specialized Fast Funds, Visa Direct, and Mastercard MoneySend indicators to help iGaming operators and payout platforms execute seamless, instant card disbursements.

MIAMI, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — BinBase, a global provider of payment routing intelligence and card issuing data, has introduced specialized instant payout indicators as part of its upgraded 2026 BIN Database. Tailored for iGaming operators, online gambling platforms, crypto-to-fiat ramps, and payout aggregators, the updated dataset helps platform engineers streamline real-time card disbursements and Push-to-Card (P2C) transactions.

In high-velocity sectors such as online betting and gaming, instantaneous player payouts are a primary driver of customer retention. However, executing Push-to-Card transactions through protocols like Visa Direct and Mastercard MoneySend requires knowing whether the receiving card issuer supports Fast Funds for specific merchant category codes (MCCs). Attempting instant payouts on non-eligible cards leads to declined transactions, elevated processing fees, and poor user experiences.

The 2026 BinBase release solves this operational bottleneck by delivering dedicated attributes for real-time fund disbursements:

Fast Funds Eligibility: Granular indicators identifying domestic and cross-border Fast Funds support across global Visa and Mastercard ranges.Online Gambling Fast Funds (OG FF): Dedicated flags specifically identifying card ranges authorized to receive real-time gambling and betting payouts.Mastercard MoneySend & Visa Direct Indicators: Precise protocol compatibility markers (MS Ind & MT Ind) ensuring push transactions are routed only to eligible recipient cards.Direct Debit & Pull-Funds Support: Indicators for recurring collections and account-funding transactions.

“Player payouts in iGaming cannot wait for standard 2-to-3-day ACH settlements,” said a spokesperson for Damiko Inc. “By embedding our Fast Funds and Gambling FF flags into their payment engines, operators can instantly validate recipient cards before initiating a transfer, guaranteeing high success rates and instant liquidity for their users.”

Fintech engineers and payout architects can examine the full 29-field database schema and access a free 2026 sample dataset on GitHub.

Walnut Coding’s Young Coders Serve as ‘Instructors’ at Huawei Cloud Developer Training Camp

Ages 8 and 15, students showcase AI-era project-building skills from concept to working application

BEIJING, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Walnut Coding (the “Company”), a leading online platform for youth coding education, said two of its students – ages 8 and 15 – have joined the “instructor” lineup at Huawei Cloud Developer Training Camp, making them among the youngest “instructors” in the program’s history. The Company cites the pair as a prime example of how young learners can combine coding fundamentals with AI tools to turn ideas into working applications.

The two students, Bolin Du, 8, and Peiqi Gao, 15, built working applications using Huawei Cloud CodeArts, an AI coding assistant, then presented the projects to the training camp themselves – walking the audience through their design choices, technical builds, and debugging process.

The move lands at a moment when AI coding tools are forcing a rethink across the education sector. Tools that can generate functioning code from a plain-language prompt have undercut the traditional argument for teaching children to program – that they need the skill to build things themselves. Walnut Coding’s answer is that the more valuable skill now is judgment – knowing what problem to solve, breaking it into parts, and determining whether an AI’s output actually works.

Gao built a travel-planning application that generates routes, itineraries, and recommendations based on user input, handling the project end to end, from requirements and design through coding and debugging. Du, the younger of the two, built an interactive calendar application, using HTML for page structure, CSS for visual design, and JavaScript for interactive features. Both students then took on an instructor’s role at the camp, presenting their project goals and technical implementation to the audience – a step Walnut Coding says separated the work from a typical classroom assignment.

These were not classroom exercises but working projects, built and presented inside a professional developer-training environment. The experience demanded more from both students than simply producing something functional – they needed to articulate their reasoning, defend technical choices, and refine the final result under scrutiny. Their participation signals a broader shift underway in what youth coding education can deliver.

AI is making code generation easier, but it is also redrawing which skills actually matter. A student who relies only on one-click generation may get a rough prototype quickly, but still struggle to spot logical flaws, judge whether the output is reliable, or turn an abstract idea into a product that actually works. Students with programming foundations, by contrast, are better positioned to define requirements, evaluate what the AI produces, correct its errors, and treat the technology as a tool rather than a shortcut to lean on.

“AI can help children generate code faster, but it cannot decide for them what problem they should solve, nor can it make the final judgment about whether the result is truly effective,” said Pengxuan Zeng, founder and CEO of Walnut Coding. “What these two students demonstrated is not just coding technique, but the ability to define needs, break down tasks, verify outcomes, and turn an idea into a working product. That is why we believe young people still need to learn programming in the AI era.”

Walnut Coding structures its courses around that thesis, pairing student-led project work with teaching-assistant guidance and AI-assisted support. According to the Company, this data is continuously fed back into its systems to refine the personalization of AI-assisted feedback — a closed-loop process linking teaching, practice, feedback, and curriculum development.

The Company frames the payoffs less around producing professional software engineers than around a broader form of literacy. As AI continues to reshape how tasks get done, the ability to understand the technology, structure problems clearly and collaborate effectively with intelligent tools may prove one of the most durable skills a young learner can develop.

Walnut Coding says it plans to keep expanding opportunities for students to build practical projects, partner with industry technology platforms such as Huawei Cloud, and develop the core capabilities needed to build with technology in the AI era.
