[About the product]
—Reflecting on the Future of Femtech—
"Femtech" is a globally emerging field that uses technology to support women's unique health challenges, such as menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause. Although various products and services, including menstrual tracking apps and absorbent menstrual underwear, have been developed, the field is still relatively new, and accurate knowledge and understanding are not yet widespread.
In this book, the author, a director of a women’s clinic, provides a clear explanation of the basics of femtech, including its definition and how it has gained attention. The book also explores potential issues hidden behind the seemingly positive aspects of femtech and discusses its future possibilities.
