Talking point: Dialogue, which Sun Life acquired for $365 million in 2023, said it wants to help address inadequacies in women’s health, including both gender-specific conditions and the ways some diseases affect women differently from men. Dialogue’s main customers are employers and benefits providers, and its announcement pointed to the workplace consequences of common menopause symptoms like hot flashes, poor sleep and brain fog. A U.K. survey in 2022 found one in 10 respondents working through menopause had left their jobs, and more had reduced their hours. Dialogue had raised $156 million as of July 2023, according to PitchBook data.
