Iman Clarke, CEO of Prikali Peer Health, says he had an Epiphene that eventually took him to Techkachchan Distribe 2025 to Techchchan’s Startup Battleground.
It was about nine years ago. She moved from Tunisia to America for Grad School, then joined a company, which created excreted experiences for people with neurodynapped conditions, such as dementia. This was done by giving them a tablet or a computer and giving them the game playing, while the doctors collected data on them, such as the risk of their fall and the overall range of speed.
“I realized that most people, 75-plas, are two to three old conditions, and no matter what we did, it is always difficult,” he told Techcrunch. “Then I went back to research and saw that, 70% of Alzheimer’s population is women.”
He dug deeply and found that women were likely to double with depression and anxiety, and there was a possibility of diagnosis with migraine three to four times more. “When I realized that we are not really solving for women’s biology, and this is the cost of life and dollars.”
So she created prickly pear health, which provides medical aid for women’s brain health, a voice-first, AI-operated partner who helps women navigate hormonal changes affecting brain health in their 30 to 50s. The product allows people to record quick reflections throughout the day using their voice and the AI technique of prickly pear analyzes its language and reference to track any cognitive changes.
Priyal Pier will show its technology in the health techchron dispute, which runs from 27 October to 29 October in San Francisco.
It also draws other matrix from trackers such as sleep data, heart rate activity, and Apple Health, OULA and Garmin, so that they can take better care of their health.

Clarke said that there is a collective agreement that the health of women is a space cooked for innovation, and that women want to become founders, want to be top voices, and are tired of being in the back seats of their own life.
Clarke officially launched a free version of its product in May and is set to start a premium offering in October for Mental Health Awareness Month and Menopause Awareness Month.
She started focusing at Arizona State University and found that women were reporting a lot of brain fogs and mental fatigue in the early 50s in the late 30s, but it often used to take them to feel that it was to be done by the start of hormonal ups and downs, menopause, or even something. It was here that Clarke realized that she wanted to focus on this age limit.
Symptoms such as symptoms such as brain fog, mood shift, or irregular cycles appear first, “they often dismiss or wrongly manifest,” they said about women in the 30 to 50s, saying that these midlife years are important for brain health, but traditional care is failing to add dots.
“We are addressing that difference. They later increase more serious health challenges before helping women identify and working on early signals,” he said.
Arizona is also the place where the company’s name has inspired. She became fascinated with the cacti, how they stand despite the heat and produce healthy fruits. “When the prickly pear came into life because it is a fruit that grows in the cactus tree, and it was the inspiration to be rich in harsh situations and joyous flexibility,” he said.
She considers the contestants in her region as the existing menopause apps, which she said, the symptoms are more like trackers. “We believe that it is important to understand the symptoms, but we believe that those approaches are reactive approaches, while for us, we are able to detect things.”
She picked up a $ 350,000 pre-seed round and said that it was “really hard”, especially as a woman of color. “We had to be so good that you cannot be ignored,” he said. He demanded a relationship with investors before starting his former seed, which he said, really when it came to ask when it came to ask. “This is a popular thing that we say: ‘Ask for advice and you get business, ask for business and sometimes you get advice,” he said.
He received some advice to apply for Startup Battlefield, friends asked him to be a part of the latest startups to pitch during the competition.
“The dissolution is the final stage for new ideas,” he said. She is excited to spot the brain health of women, learn from other founders, and of course, “Join with investors and partners who believe, as we do, that women’s health innovations are not niche, this is the future of health service.”
