Femtech's Evolution & Social Harms - Designing for an Inclusive Future
Join your host, Bethany Corbin, for an exciting exploration of the evolution of the femtech industry and an honest dialogue on social and ethical harms surrounding many femtech products on the market today. In this second episode, you'll learn about the historic exclusion of women from clinical trials and healthcare research and the culture of shame and taboo that invades public discussions of women's health. You'll also uncover key social harms present from the lack of regulatory standards and guidance governing femtech products - including inaccurate devices and data overload - along with the rise of intimate surveillance. If you're a femtech founder, designer, or developer, this is a must-listen episode to ensure you are designing your product for maximum inclusivity.
