WoW Woman in BioTech - Quanda Francis, founder and Chief Technology Officer of Womb WatchAI
Quanda Francis is the Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Womb WatchAI®, where she is architecting the "intelligence layer" for women’s biological data. Backed by NVIDIA and Google for Startups, she is the pioneer of Bio-Intent Orchestration Systems™ (BIOS) and a category leader in AI Intelligence Rights. Quanda holds six provisional patents centered on a quantum-native infrastructure designed to decode the high-dimensional complexity of female biology. Her mission of "Performance Equity" bridges elite biotechnology with grassroots empowerment, evidenced by her founding of the AI Technology Exposure Academy and the Court Culture Basketball Leadership Academy at NYU. Based in New York, her leadership transforms the trauma of healthcare dismissal into a mission-driven infrastructure that empowers women to own their biological evidence through predictive, quantum-ready AI.
Womb WatchAI® is a biotechnology infrastructure company that has pioneered the Bio-Intent Orchestration System™ (BIOS). Moving beyond classical tracking, BIOS is a quantum-native intelligence layer designed to decode 64,000+ biological variables and recognize health risks before harm occurs. The ecosystem is anchored by Rhythm by Womb WatchAI®, the first of nine product lines utilizing this advanced data-collection infrastructure. By navigating the "data desert" of women's health research, Womb WatchAI® provides the evidence-based clarity required to end healthcare dismissal, with protocols designed to cut endometriosis diagnosis times from a decade to just one year.
Tell us a bit about your background and your projects so far.
I operate at the intersection of human performance and predictive intelligence. My work is defined by the belief that high-level technology should not be a "black box" but a tool for community liberation. At NYU, I established a combined program bridging the AI Technology Exposure Academy with the Court Culture Basketball Academy. This initiative teaches young athletes to use AI to decode their own performance, proving that the same quantum-era logic used in billion-dollar industries can be mastered and applied on a basketball court. My flagship mission is Womb WatchAI®, building the "intelligence layer" for women’s biological data that is trained exclusively on our unique biology.
How did you get into this industry? Has it been an easy industry to get into or have you had many challenges?
I entered this industry through the lens of survival. I almost didn’t meet my son at the three-point line; during an emergency C-section, I faced life-threatening complications that no one believed were coming, despite the signs I had been reporting for weeks. This revealed a system architected to dismiss women, where medical research excludes us and algorithms are trained on male bodies. I asked: What if we gave women evidence so undeniable that dismissal became impossible? That is how Womb WatchAI® was born. The challenge hasn't been the technology—I have six provisional patents for a system that decodes thousands of variables; it was the "silo" mentality that didn't believe a mother’s survival story could fuel a sophisticated infrastructure like the Bio-Intent Orchestration System™ (BIOS).
How long did it take you to be where you are now? What was the biggest obstacle?
It has been a decade-long journey of technical rigor and systemic decoding. My biggest obstacle was access to the rooms where technology is architected. In both Tech and Sports, the gates are often closed to disruptors, forcing me to build my own "Court" (Court Culture) to prove these worlds belong together. We are now at a point where our quantum-ready framework is being recognized by giants like NVIDIA and Google for Startups.
What are the challenges of being in the industry you are in?
The core challenge is the "Signal vs. Noise" problem. Most tools are simple trackers that fail women when it matters most because they lack the ability to decode the "data desert" of female health. Standing out requires moving beyond "tracking" and into the Bio-Intent Orchestration System™ (BIOS) to distinguish natural biological intent from real health risks. We are fighting to ensure a woman’s symptoms are never again labeled as "normal discomfort" by providing undeniable quantum evidence.
What are your biggest achievements to date?
Some of my biggest achievements to date are:
Establishing the NYU program that bridges AI education with elite youth basketball to drive performance equity.
Pioneering the Bio-Intent Orchestration System™ (BIOS) architecture and six provisional patents.
Developing the Rhythm by Womb WatchAI® endometriosis protocol, which has the potential to cut diagnosis times from 7–10 years down to just 1 year by utilizing high-fidelity data decoding.
What are the projects you are currently working on?
We are currently scaling Rhythm by Womb WatchAI®, a first-of-its-kind cycle-synced nutrition app and the first of nine product lines. This is our engine for mass adoption; women will use it because it empowers their daily lives, and in doing so, they fuel the BIOS infrastructure. We are also introducing AI Intelligence Rights into our ecosystem. Our premium service will offer Bio-Agent and a health companion that learns with the user and acts as a technically bound advocate for their biological truth.
Is the #WomenInTech movement important to you and if yes, why?
Yes, but only if it moves beyond representation and toward Architecture. We need women building the "intelligence layer"—if women don't design the algorithms, the reasoning required to understand our biology will always be an afterthought. My work at the AI Technology Exposure Academy ensures girls see themselves as architects of systems like BIOS, not just users of apps.
What will be the key trends in your industry in the next five years and where do you see them heading?
The move from passive tracking to Active Bio-Agents and Health Companions that learn and grow alongside the user. We will see the rise of the "Digital Twin"—virtual models of unique biology that predict risk before harm occurs. Finally, a shift toward Bio-Sovereignty, where personal health data is orchestrated to rewrite the research that has ignored us for decades.
What is the most important piece of advice you could give to anyone who wants to start a career in this industry?
"Master the Why, then the Code". Your value lies in your ability to apply reasoning to a problem that everyone else is ignoring because they haven't lived it. Whether you are on the court or in the lab, focus on identifying the human intent behind the data.
Who are three inspirational women in your respective industry you admire?
Dr. Cynthia Breazeal, for making AI human-centric and social.
Marian Croak, for building the infrastructure that connects the modern world.
The "Silent Researchers"—the mothers and women in our communities who have tracked their health and advocated for their neighbors for decades before "FemTech" was a category.
