Incredible women in health tech | the 2022 longlist
When it comes to women in health tech, the imbalance is similar to what you would find in STEM overall (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths). Figures show that in health technology specifically, only one woman in five people are working in the industry.
Women in health tech – empowerment and inspiration
The lack of women in AI, in health tech, and in tech overall, has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, but the numbers generally never balanced out before that. We raise a glass to the powerful, inspirational and outstanding women who have made their mark in health tech against the odds.
Health Tech World presents: incredible women in health tech – the 2022 longlist:
1 – Ida Tin | Clue
Denmark
Ida Tin created a science-based health app for women, which supports menstruation tracking and helps women empower their bodies through all stages of life. The app became a global leader in women’s health tech, but Ida didn’t stop there.
The Danish entrepreneur also coined the term “FemTech” – which is used frequently within the female health tech sector. She planted the term into the vocabulary of leaders and journalists all over the world, to describe a category of software, diagnostics, products, and services that use technology to focus on women’s health. A truly outstanding and inspirational woman in FemTech and health tech alike.
2 – Camilla Easter | Oxford Medical Products
UK
Camilla started as a veterinary surgeon before successfully launching the veterinary arm of a biotech company.
But this was the very beginning of her success.
Since moving into the human biotech sector, Camilla went on to becoming the CEO of Oxford Medical Products (OMP) – a clinical staged, VC backed, company providing a non-surgical weight loss product that will redefine the obesity treatment market.
Her input led them to raising €1.3 million in their seed investment round to develop a safe and affordable weight loss capsule which can be taken at home.
3 – Andrea Oliver Garcia | Emjoy
Spain
Andrea Oliver Garcia used her own experiences as a woman, along with her sheer courage, to take her sexual audio app onto the market. The idea for Emjoy was born from Andrea’s own experience and observations of how many women normalise not climaxing. When she started researching the topic, she was surprised that there was no app addressing this issue.
Andrea was convinced that the gap could be closed with the right tech-based solution, empowering women to articulate their wants and needs. Because sexual wellbeing is a crucial part of wider mental and physical health.
Andrea managed to successfully secure financing for her venture. Since then, Emjoy has helped more than 300,000 women achieve their intimate wellbeing goals with its science-based content – carefully prepared by in-house therapists and OB-GYNs.
