🗞️ For the last couple of months, I have had the incredible opportunity to manage the FemHealth Insights weekly newsletter. This role has allowed me to stay updated on key women’s health issues and FemTech industry trends, and to share these insights with a wide audience of passionate subscribers. ✨ I’m thrilled to share some key highlights from this week's newsletter. Each week, I am inspired by the groundbreaking advancements and latest discoveries in women’s health research. It is truly an honor to amplify this valuable information. 💕 What I love most about the FemTech industry is its collaborative spirit. In many other fields, competition is fierce, and success is often measured by who gets there first. But in FemTech, every advancement is a collective win, benefiting the entire community. Each week, I get to spread awareness and celebrate these shared successes. 🌸 If you’re interested in staying informed and inspired, please consider subscribing to the FemHealth Insights weekly newsletter.

🦄 HLTH Europe that’s a wrap: inspiring, energizing and buzzing with talented minds across the entire EU healthcare ecosystem, united in their commitment to drive systemic change to alleviate the enormous pressure and drive better outcomes for patients. I’ll be back and I’ll bring a friend or two. Well done Katy Fryatt, Henry Stoneley and the whole HLTH Team - you surely know how to make a first impression! ✅ Women’s health is unstoppably coming into the global agenda. From the Global Alliance for Women’s Health hosted by the World Economic Forum to the $100 million of new investment into ‘life-changing’ research and development for Women’s Health confirmed by US First Lady, Jill Biden… From the recent quantification of the size of addressing the women’s health gap (it would boost the global economy by $1 trillion annually according to the McKinsey Health Institute) to the intense lobbying of dozens of regional Femtech ecosystem associations working in the Americas, Europe and Asia… Momentum is building and our collective drive is unstoppable. 🤔 Although women’s health was very prominent in this 1st HLTH EU edition, I was surprised to find out the theme it’s rather MIA in the veteran HLTH US agenda. Jody Tropeano: We are happy to help, just to pick a topic close to our hearts and mission -Postpartum care in the US it’s an absolute Motherload! 👉 https://lnkd.in/dpWeCGth ✅ Smart collaboration: I spoke with Femtech founders, ecosystem builders, investors and business developers and my key takeaway is that we can’t achieve progress at pace by working in silos. We genuinely share a common drive for bolder collaboration across multiple fronts. We are ready to shared bold ideas and to drive change faster while growing together. Watch this space! 💪 #HLTHEurope #Femtech #WomensHealth #HealthInnovation #HealthTech
