Join us for femtech YEG, a bold collision of tech and women’s health at the heart of Life Sciences Week. This high-energy event brings together clinicians, researchers, entrepreneurs, and health innovators to reimagine how we design, deliver, and scale solutions that support women across their health journeys.
Whether you're building tech, delivering care, conducting research, or simply passionate about driving change, femtech YEG is your invitation to connect, collaborate, and lead the future of women's health in Alberta.
We’ll kick off with a provocative keynote from Rachel Bartholomew, a leading voice in the femtech space, followed by an interactive conversation showcasing local innovators.
Rachel Bartholomew is a two-time entrepreneur who is now working on her second company, Hyivy Health, created after her recent fight with cervical cancer. Hyivy Health is creating a medical device for the 1 in 3 women worldwide who will experience a gynecological complication in their lifetime. Rachel is a graduate of the University of Waterloo and has been working in various roles in the entrepreneurship ecosystem for over 15 years, including the Founder of Femtech Canada, Femtech Across Borders, and is Professor at Toronto Metropolitan University in Biotech Innovation.
