In this episode, Hannah is joined by Laura Shipp, who is a doctoral researcher in cybersecurity and FemTech. Hannah and Laura talk about the FemTech industry, capitalism and healthcare, our thoughts on period tracking apps, what it means for our privacy and data when it comes to sensitive information, gender inclusivity with some of these apps and services, as well as who ultimately has access to them, and who is being left behind.
