Femtech Innovation in Hormonal Health
Join us at the Private Meetup of femtech innovators, investors, and women's health enthusiasts to discuss how technology can help bridge the knowledge gap in women's hormonal health.
About the event
There is a knowledge gap in the understanding and awareness of women’s health, specifically the impact of sex hormones. It impacts the general female population, affecting their ability to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
How can technology help? Bridging this gap through effective education, awareness campaigns, and accessible resources is essential to empower women with the knowledge they need to take charge of their well-being, thereby improving their quality of life and contributing to the community’s overall health.
At this event, taking place during Sex Hormones Awareness Week initiated by Mira, we will discuss the latest industry innovations and cultivate collaboration opportunities.
