The Origins and Importance of FemTech: Honoring the Mothers of Gynecology

In this episode of the FemTech Focus podcast, host Dr. Brittany Barreto introduces the concept of FemTech, an industry and movement dedicated to addressing women's health issues. She shares her personal journey and passion for the field and previews the 2025 season dedicated to Anarcha, Betsy, and Lucy, three enslaved women who were pivotal in the early development of gynecology. Their stories of suffering and resilience underscore the importance of gender-informed, and sex-specific healthcare and the ongoing mission of FemTech to drive innovations that address female-specific health conditions. This episode calls for continued investment and advocacy in women's health.
