Our Research & Health App Ecosystem
Comprehensive tools designed to advance infectious disease research, empower scientists, and drive health equity.
​
EquiSciâ„¢ Web application
EquiSci™  is an AI-powered women’s health research intelligence platform designed to help users quickly explore where evidence exists, where gaps remain, and where action is needed. This collage highlights the platform’s core experience: a central research hub supported by structured exploration tools, open-source infrastructure, and a growing evidence base that surfaces hundreds of thousands of analyzed articles and hundreds of identified research gaps. It positions EquiSci™ as both a discovery layer and a decision-support tool for understanding inequities in women’s and girls’ health research—and there's a FREE Tier... (yes, FREE).

Research Deserts & Data Explorer shows how EquiSciâ„¢ maps places and topics where women face the highest disease burden but the fewest clinical trials. This collage emphasizes the platform’s ability to connect interactive disease-burden mapping, structured research-gap discovery, and supporting evidence views into a single workflow, making it easier to identify underserved populations, explore disease areas, and understand where research investment is still missing. It presents EquiSci as a practical visual intelligence tool for translating scattered public data into actionable equity insights.Â
Data Pipelines & Evidence Engine focuses on the infrastructure behind EquiSci™: curated, validated, and regularly updated evidence pipelines that bring together multiple open-data sources into a usable research platform. This collage communicates that EquiSci™ is not just a front-end visualization tool but a structured evidence engine built to organize long-range biomedical data, automate updates, and make research intelligence more transparent and accessible. It reinforces the platform’s value as a reliable foundation for large-scale evidence synthesis in women’s health research
EquiSci™ is free at its core, with open access to the full Gap Explorer, ADR Female Biology Risk Estimator, Research Desert Map, and public API — no account required. Paid tiers add branded exports, dashboard embeds, drug equity alerts, geographic analysis, higher API limits, and dedicated support for organizations that need more.
​
Community Access for CHCs and nonprofits starts at $500–$1,500/year, Research Partner for universities and agencies is $3,000/month, and Enterprise for pharma, biotech, and hospital systems is $25,000/month. Qualifying institutions can also receive grant-subsidized seats at $0 per seat.

Upcoming Web Apps - June 2026
COMING JUNE 2026
FibroidForwardâ„¢
FibroidForwardâ„¢ gives women of color what the healthcare system won't: a fibroid-specific symptom tracker with visual bleeding quantification, an AI surgical companion that exposes racial disparities in treatment recommendations, and community-rated providers scored on whether they listen, preserve, and respect. Your data builds the evidence base; our research feed brings the clinical trials to you.
COMING JUNE 2026
Solsticeâ„¢
Solstice™ centers women of color in a menopause conversation that's excluded us for decades — recalibrating symptom tracking to our bodies, surfacing the cardiovascular danger no one tells us about, and integrating ancestral healing alongside Western medicine. The culture of silence ends here.
COMING JUNE 2026
FlareMapâ„¢
FlareMap™ gives women of color what the autoimmune space never has — an AI that tracks flare triggers including racial stress, a timestamped log that turns medical gaslighting into undeniable evidence, and a diagnosis delay clock that proves what we already know: we wait longer, get believed less, and die sooner from conditions caught too late. Community-rated specialists, research portals seeking our biomarkers, and advocacy data that hits back — this is chronic illness care that finally fights for us
New Web Apps (Launching July 2026)
COMING JULY 2026
MotherRootâ„¢
MotherRoot™ is postpartum care rebuilt for the mothers the system is failing — with culturally validated depression screening that catches what standard tools miss, an AI maternal mortality alert system for the warning signs killing Black women at 3x the rate, and a village network of doulas, elders, and healers from your own community. We honor your cultural postpartum traditions as legitimate medicine and educate the family members who hold the keys to whether you get support or suffer in silence.
Soft Launch May 2026
AzucaNegraâ„¢
AzucaNegra™ curates hair care, skincare, and wellness exclusively from Black and Latina-owned brands because your crown deserves products actually made for your texture, your tone, and your tradition. 50+ products, 30+ brands, zero guesswork just beauty that was always ours.

The Nexus Effect: Bridging Science, Innovation, and Community
Kindle: $9.99
Paperback: $18.99
Science has the power to change lives—but only when it reaches the people it was meant to serve.
Â
In The Nexus Effect, Dr. Maika G. Mitchell offers a bold new vision for the future of translational research: one in which discovery does not end in the laboratory, innovation is measured by human impact, and scientific excellence is inseparable from equity, mentorship, and community trust.
Â
Drawing from a career that spans molecular pathology, clinical operations, public health, cancer research, Long COVID leadership, and scientific education, Mitchell reveals what happens when science moves with urgency and purpose. She explores the hidden distances between breakthrough and access, the cost of exclusion in data and medicine, and the transformative force that emerges when research, technology, and lived experience converge.
