The Limitations of Femtech in Addressing Health Inequities

While femtech holds promise, it's important to recognize its limitations in fully bridging women’s health inequities. Technology, no matter how advanced, cannot replace the nuanced understanding and empathy of human healthcare providers. Additionally, femtech solutions often require access to technology and an understanding of how to use it, which might not be universally available. There's also the risk of data privacy and security concerns, which could disproportionately impact vulnerable groups. Therefore, while femtech is a valuable tool in the fight against health disparities, it must be part of a broader, more integrative approach to women’s health.
