Indoor Mobility Patterns Measured by PIR Sensors for Classifying Health-Related Quality of Life in Older Adults Using Machine Learning.

Endometriosis affects 190 million, or 1 in 10, women worldwide. It is a complex chronic condition with an impact extending from menarche through menopause, causing chronic pain during menstruation and negatively impacting sexual and reproductive health and rights, including fertility, sexual well-being, overall health, and quality of life of those affected. Endometriosis has been neglected as both a public health concern and a women’s health priority, with effective treatments still limited. Its economic burden is comparable to that of chronic diseases such as diabetes and Crohn’s disease, yet it receives far less attention and funding. “More research is needed” is a familiar refrain, yet data, innovation, and expertise on endometriosis remain fragmented and inequitably concentrated in a few regions. Investments in understanding its origins, progression, pain mechanisms, and broader health impacts continue to lag behind. Building on existing evidence, this Editorial calls for equity-driven innovation and global collaboration to close these gaps—moving beyond the traditional “Global North first, Global South later” model toward a truly inclusive approach to scientific discovery and knowledge sharing.
