For decades, women's health has been underfunded, under-researched and often misunderstood. But a quiet revolution is underway — and technology is at the centre of it.
In this episode of The Biohackher Podcast, Azra Alagic sits down with Lindsay Davis, founder of the FemTech Association Asia, to unpack how FemTech and artificial intelligence are reshaping the future of women's healthcare — from fertility and menopause to personalised medicine, diagnostics and prevention.
But with innovation comes big questions.
Can AI actually improve women's healthcare outcomes? What happens to our privacy and personal data? Is bias already being built into the systems designed to help us? And can technology ever replace the human element of medicine?
Lindsay takes us inside the rapidly growing FemTech movement in Asia, sharing why women's health innovation is finally gaining momentum, where the biggest opportunities lie, and why closing the women's health gap requires more than just new apps and wearables.
They also dive into the realities female founders face when building health businesses, why funding for women's health still lags behind, and what must change if we want a healthcare system that truly works for women.
If you've ever wondered where women's healthcare is heading — and whether technology could finally help bridge the gap — this conversation is for you.
In this episode, we cover:
• What FemTech actually is — and why it matters
• How AI is already changing women's healthcare
• The opportunities and risks of AI in women's health
• Bias, privacy and inclusivity concerns in healthcare technology
• Why women have historically been underrepresented in medical research
• How personalised health data could improve care outcomes
• Why education and community matter in navigating health technology
• The biggest gaps still facing women's healthcare globally
• Why funding women's health could create the biggest ripple effect
• Advice for female founders building businesses in health and wellness
