FEMTECH: innovation within everyone's reach

Femtech: Innovation within everyone's reach. In recent years, the word Femtech has appeared in numerous media outlets, but what does it mean? How did it originate? What is its objective?

What does Femtech mean?

The word Femtech comes from the combination of "female" and "technology." This term originated to define tech startups that create health products focused on women. However, in recent times the term has broadened to encompass all initiatives that combine women with technology.

As this sector continues to grow, its impact expands beyond healthcare to other areas with the goal of using technology to help improve women's well-being.

How did Femtech emerge?

The term was coined by Ida Tin, CEO of Clue. During the TechCrunch Disrupt startup conference, the lack of visibility of women's products at events of this kind became evident.

In this context, the role of Tania Boler, founder of Elvie, stands out in Europe. Tania, an internationally recognized expert in women's health, has held leadership positions for several global NGOs and the United Nations.

One of our favorite Elvie products is the Elvie Trainer , the pelvic floor trainer that allows women to do Kegel exercises. The device also connects via Bluetooth to your phone so you can track your progress.

What is your goal?

The promise and potential of FemTech is enormous. The market is growing rapidly, as are the stakeholders. This sector is still in its infancy, but the excitement and support for these early initiatives demonstrate a genuine drive to make improvements where options have been limited until now.

In short, the future possibilities are immense, and at Skinvity we work to stay up-to-date and make the best technology accessible to as many users as possible, solving our individual problems and striving to improve our clients' well-being.
