Unveiling the FemTech Revolution: Heart Health, Clinical Trials, and Equity in Healthcare

In this episode of Biohacking Eve: Health Optimisation for Women, host Judith Mueller discusses the gender biases in medical training and diagnostics with Susan Stover, a marketing and sales specialist in the FemTech industry. Susan sheds light on how a lack of female representation in clinical trials and the male-centric medical model endanger women’s health. She explains the importance and urgency of the FemTech industry, and together they explore various facets of women’s health, including historical neglect, intersectionality in healthcare, and the challenges faced by FemTech founders. The episode also covers the pioneering work of Hi Ivy Health in tackling pelvic floor dysfunction and introduces the FemTech book club, aimed at educating and creating a community around these critical issues.
