Women's health and technology (FemTech)

The importance of healthcare that addresses women’s health is, thankfully, becoming an increasing priority, with technology playing a pivotal role in addressing women’s health and the gender health gap.

We understand women’s health.

There is complexity with a highly regulated landscape, the even greater need to protect privacy and difficulties accessing funding.

It is still a surprise to learn that women were not required to be included in clinical trials until 1993. Since then, we have seen an increase in female clinical trial participants, but results are still not necessarily analysed by sex and/or gender – we are here to support those efforts in closing the gap.

With extensive experience across the technology, health and life science sectors, we can provide a “one-stop” legal service for innovators, investors and providers.
