Real sustainable development will only be possible if women’s health is prioritised. For many years, the majority of new medical devices, technologies and services have been developed around being used for men, leaving many women’s health needs unconsidered and a significant gender bias issue. But now, new activity in relation to women’s HealthTech is increasing at an astronomical rate.  

 With it being reported that 50% of women do not understand their own hormones, it is vital that we place women’s health at the centre of development. Thus came the development of FemTech, a spawn of HealthTech which focuses specifically on women’s health. Think fertility solutions, period-tracking apps, pregnancy and nursing care, women’s sexual wellness and reproductive system care. And that is only the beginning.  

Female-led innovation will be key within the field of healthcare. For our next webinar we will be inviting a range of industry experts and NHS professionals to discuss the need for women’s health to be at the centre of sustainable development.
