As a push for more innovation in women’s health persists, FemTech as an industry continues to grow across Australia. With this in mind, we would like to introduce the first instalment of our multi-part series covering the top FemTech innovations.
FemTech is a category of technology applied to products, services, devices, and diagnostics that support women’s health at every stage of life. Frost & Sullivan predicts FemTech will be a USD$50 billion global industry by 2024, and the consistent growth in Australia has forged the path for the nation to be a key player in the global women’s health technology ecosystem.
FemTech explores innovation at every stage of a women’s health journey as well as considers compounding health factors for a holistic approach to healthcare. Our first instalment of this series will explore the top 3 FemTech products that support women’s general healthcare.
Caia
Caia is the fast and stress-free way to connect with vetted women’s health practitioners and address your reproductive and maternal health concerns.
Caia allows you to video chat or message directly with a holistic network of clinicians, coaches, therapists, and other women's health professionals without leaving your couch. Caia also provides treatment delivered to your door, educational resources, and a trusted app currently in its beta stage.
Shifra
