The Role of Big Data in Women's Health

Big data is transforming women's health by helping to address historical gaps in research. A femtech company utilizes hormonal data collected from thousands of women to provide insights into symptoms related to menopause, a life stage that often lacks adequate study. The CEO of Mira, which offers a fertility tracking app, highlighted the need for personalized insights into hormonal changes and ovulation, moving beyond outdated methods like ovulation predictor kits. This data-driven approach not only empowers women with better information but also seeks to minimize health inequalities in women's reproductive health.
