Dama Health Earns the NurseApproved Seal for Dama Assist, Its AI-Powered Clinical Platform for Hormone Health and Menopause Care

Independent panel of licensed Nurse Practitioners with more than 120 years of collective clinical experience unanimously rated Dama Assist as outperforming the tools they currently use for hormone health and menopause care

BOSTON, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NurseApproved today announced that Dama Health, developer of Dama Assist, a specialty clinical decision-support platform built for hormone health and menopause care, today announced it has earned the NurseApproved Seal following a structured, independent evaluation by a panel of licensed Nurse Practitioners from across the country.

The NurseApproved Seal is one of the most rigorous third-party certifications available to healthcare technology companies. Products undergo direct evaluation by licensed, practicing nurses against the criteria that matter most in clinical settings -- clinical relevance, patient safety, workflow impact, ease of use, and performance against current alternatives. A product earns the seal only when it clears the bar set by the panel. Many don't.

Dama Assist cleared it by a significant margin. Every member of the independent review panel rated Dama Assist as performing better than the clinical AI tools and reference resources they currently rely on for hormone health and menopause care -- a result that reflects both how purpose-built the platform is and how underserved this specialty has been.

"Earning the NurseApproved Seal is a defining milestone for Dama Health," said Elena Rueda, CEO and Founder of Dama Health. "Menopause and hormone health are among the most underserved areas in medicine, and we made a deliberate choice to build Dama Assist deep in this single specialty rather than broad across many. To have that focus validated directly by a panel of practicing Nurse Practitioners, the fastest-growing provider group in this space, positions Dama Assist as the clinical decision-support standard for menopause and hormone care."

Panel members consistently cited the fragmentation of current resources as a defining challenge in their practice -- cross-referencing multiple guideline bodies, drug references, and research databases to inform a single patient decision. Dama Assist's centralized, evidence-based approach addressed that gap directly. As one independent NP reviewer put it: "It's a great product. As someone who solely practices women's HRT, I haven't seen any other products that look this thorough."

"NurseApproved exists because nurses are the largest clinical workforce in the country and the most trusted voice in healthcare -- and for too long, their expertise has been left out of the product evaluation process," said Rebecca Love, CEO of NurseApproved. "Earning our seal means standing up to direct scrutiny from the clinicians who will actually use the product. Dama Health did that. Their panel of Nurse Practitioners recognized Dama Assist as a purpose-built solution for one of the most fragmented and historically overlooked areas in clinical practice, and the result speaks for itself."
