Does Health Information Technology and Digital Health FAIL WOMEN?
What up with FEM-TECH?
Most apps. devices and health wearables were probably designed and developed by men, and most likely not consulted by future users. For example:
- The majority of period tracker apps fail women.
- What's more, fitness trackers and wearables fail pregnant women terribly.
Scientifically, have you ever even looked around at the women’s health and “femtech” market and found that digital health technology has yet to live up to female expectations?.
Currently - The area is under-researched, underfunded and not understood.
So - Does Health Information and Digital Technology REALLY FAIL WOMEN?

That’s a very interesting point and probably true. There are not great apps or wearables designed for women ( Period tracking apps are sometime just calculators). The reason of failure may be the product owners are not women.
I think tere is a huge opportunity if someone can address its right. Apps for women only or wearable for women only can be a successful bet.
