A glimpse of FemTech

FemTech (Female Technology) is a term coined by Ida Tin, Co-Founder and CEO of the women's menstruation-tracking app "Clue". It’s about technology empowering women’s health and well-being. This term is often applied to products, services, applications and software, medical devices, telehealth, wearables, hardware, therapeutic drugs, vitamins and supplements, digital platforms, and consumer products designed to improve or support women's health.

Thought of as a subset of healthcare, women’s health has often been overlooked and underserved, considering the fact that women have been underrepresented in clinical trials, as well. The social discussion itself on sexual and reproductive health and its modern taboos have also acted as a cultural barrier to forge encouraging conversations on health issues.

Despite this, in the past few years the world has witnessed a strong rise in FemTech solutions due to the adoption of new technologies and new models transforming the way women obtain access to healthcare.
