FEMTECH: Are you digitally connected to your health?

For many years, the healthcare industry and its related technology have been focused on men’s health needs, with women’s needs expected to adapt, despite the uniqueness of women’s bodies. In todays’ healthcare, women’s health is rightly recognized as a separate entity, and more focus is placed on the care delivered specifically to women’s health needs. One Initiative targeting the biological and medical issues specific to women is FEMTECH (female technology).

But, what is FEMTECH?

Femtech refers to innovative technology that allows women to digitally connect with their health and overcome health challenges they face daily in their lives! Femtech aims  to improve women’s health, wellbeing, and their whole lived experience and incorporates many types of software, diagnostics, wearables, and products and services to improve the biological and medical issues specific to women in a variety of categories, including;

• Fertility, birth control, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and Postpartum.
• Sexual wellness
• Menstruation and Period Care Products
• Chronic conditions and hormonal disorders
• Pelvic health
• General women’s health
• Breast health

But, that’s not all! Another great thing about the FEMTECH technology in each category is that they recognize that every woman is different. Although women may have the same health-related issue, their needs to manage or treat the issue may be different. Therefore, FEMTECH allows women to adapt the healthcare and services to their individual needs!
