The future of FemTech in Swedish healthcare! 🧩 We are proud to share the important work Maya Callens and Maria Andersson has done in collaboration with Nordic Healthcare Group to contribute to the The Future of FemTech in Swedish healthcare. They completed their master's thesis from the Bioentrepreneurship program at Karolinska Institutet and passed with distinction with their study on how #FemTech; a growing sector in digital health technology, can be implemented in Sweden’s public healthcare system. Here are some highlighted challenges and opportunities from their work: Challenges 🔹Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within FemTech often lack the incentives and resources to integrate with public healthcare. Only 20% of public procurements require proof of efficacy --> highlighting the need for stricter evaluation standards. 🔹Successful use of digital health technologies requires collaboration between patients and healthcare providers. However, without engagement from medical professionals and decision-makers, these technologies risk falling through the cracks. 🔹Concerns around data privacy and discrimination remain significant challenges, especially in an industry that is largely consumer-focused. Opportunities 🔸Having product advocates among healthcare professionals can be crucial in driving the adoption of FemTech. 🔸Starting in the private sector can provide a pathway into public healthcare. 🔸Collaboration with already established companies can provide the credibility and resources needed to scale up. FemTech has the potential to revolutionize healthcare for women, but to truly make a difference, we need to overcome the existing barriers and leverage the identified opportunities. Let’s work together to drive innovative FemTech solutions and bring them into Swedish healthcare! #healthcare #femtech #digitalhealth
