Femtech: More than periods and pregnancy
A fresh crop of entrepreneurs are pushing for broader and bolder solutions for women's health and wellness in South-east Asia. Investors are paying attention.
TO believe that "femtech" is just about menstrual or fertility-tracking apps is passe.
A growing number of tech entrepreneurs seek to address other health and wellness issues that women have long faced - be it hormone health, menopause or even the hush-hush topic of sexual pleasure.
In Singapore, femtech is still a nascent vertical, compared to other hot sectors such as fintech. But the field is gaining momentum.
