This seminar delves into the far-reaching impact of femtech on improving health outcomes and addressing the historical neglect of women’s health concerns.
The event takes place at the FabLab RUC at Roskilde University on November 14, 2023.
You are invited to engage in a transformative dialogue and hands-on building session where we aim to reshape the landscape of women’s health technology.
Growing importance
Femtech has emerged as a sector of growing importance and is gaining prominence as a key player in healthcare innovation. It offers transformative potential in the realm of women’s health and well-being.
Recognizing gender as a critical factor in mental health, the World Health Organization underscores the importance of femtech as a necessary revolution in healthcare.
Femtech a billion dollar industry
Femtech’s scope spans from menstrual health to menopause, fertility to sexual well-being, addressing essential aspects of women’s health.
It is a billion dollar industry (Statista, Fast Company, Deal Room) and has yet to be explored fully – especially in the Nordics.
Personalization
Femtech’s significance lies in its ability to personalize healthcare experiences.
Utilizing artificial intelligence and data analytics, femtech tools provide tailored health insights. The technology is a valuable resource given the intricacies of hormonal fluctuations throughout a woman’s lifetime.
Menotech
The sector is also pioneering menopause-tech, or menotech, featuring innovations like hormone-tracking devices and AI-driven health advice.
The technology has garnered attention from influential figures such as Oprah Winfrey and publications such as Time Magazine in the past two years.
The upcoming workshop offers a platform where theoretical ideas can evolve into practical, forward-thinking projects.
Guided by experts including Dr. Vanessa Julia Carpenter of Kintsugi Design and insights from Dr. Sonal Pendharkar Kulkarni of Uvisa Health and others, participants will explore the extensive potential within femtech.
This event serves as a hub for collaborative endeavors that could lead to marketable products.
