Apps for women... or for pennies?
Femtech: the next big technology boom
15 Nov 2022 19:30 - 21:00
Femtech, contraction of "female technology," is a collective term for all technology that focuses on women's health. Particularly popular are fertility and menstrual tracking (FMT) apps, such as Clue, Flo and Glow. Part of the reason the femtech market is picking up is the growing focus on gender equality. Femtech products are therefore said to contribute to the further emancipation and empowerment of women.
