As we approach the end of the year and conclude our FemTech Expo program, we wish to acknowledge and celebrate the remarkable leaders in the Women’s Health and FemTech arena. Throughout 2023, these trailblazers have dedicated themselves to enhancing the health and well-being of many through their inventive solutions and products. Despite the growing recognition of the need for innovation in women's health, certain areas remain taboo, marked by significant data gaps. For instance, it is surprising that even today, women are diagnosed, on average, four years later than men across more than 770 diseases. Moreover, women are still more susceptible to fatal heart attacks, adverse reactions to prescription drugs, and routine dismissal of their pain by doctors due to the medical mystery surrounding their bodies. A study indicates that 90% of women with chronic pain believe the healthcare system exhibits gender bias. In 2023, breakthroughs in technology have led to the development of innovative solutions for women's health concerns. From AI-powered diagnostics to wearable devices catering specifically to women, these advancements have contributed to a more personalized and effective approach to healthcare. 2023 also witnessed a surge in awareness and advocacy efforts surrounding women's health issues. Prominent voices within the industry, along with influential organizations, played a pivotal role in raising awareness about the unique challenges women face and the importance of prioritizing their health. In response, our team at Women of Wearables has curated a comprehensive list spotlighting the incredible innovators, investors, researchers, entrepreneurs, and advocates who have left their imprint on this field in 2023. This compilation aims to make the industry more accessible, inclusive, and ultimately visible.
