Manage episode 480093817 series 3563612
Femtech pioneer and Clue co-founder Ida Tin joins us to explore the intersection of technology, equity, and women’s health. Ida shares the story behind coining the term “femtech” and how she helped shape an entire industry to address the overlooked needs of women and people with periods. We discuss the founding of Clue, the systemic barriers that prevent innovation in reproductive health, and why data privacy and ethical tech design are critical to building trust. Ida also opens up about the funding challenges female founders face, the cultural stigma surrounding menstruation, and how femtech products can empower users by making their bodies more understandable. From the credibility gap in pain care to the future of personalized health data, this conversation shines a light on what’s missing and possible in women’s health.
