Reimagining Healthcare Through AI x FemTech
FemTech is redefining healthcare by tackling critical gaps in women’s health—from reproductive and maternal care to chronic disease management and menopause support. But to truly scale these innovations, new tools are needed. Enter artificial intelligence: AI-enabled diagnostics, predictive modeling, and personalized digital health platforms are accelerating research, improving accessibility, and lowering costs across healthcare.
This event explores how AI can act as a force multiplier for FemTech—driving faster innovation, smarter investment, and greater equity in women’s health.

Why This Event Matters
Despite the growing FemTech sector, women’s health remains critically underfunded and under-researched. Artificial intelligence offers a unique opportunity to accelerate discovery, improve outcomes, and democratize access to healthcare solutions for women worldwide. By bringing together diverse voices at the intersection of AI and FemTech, this event aims to highlight not just innovation, but the path toward a more equitable healthcare future.
