Ep18: Femtech - Women's Health Data in a Post Roe V. Wade World

Femtech - or Female Health Technology, which includes apps such as period trackers, is experiencing unprecedented growth. But nowhere is this podcast’s tagline - how life affects data and how data affects life - more relevant than in this industry in the shadow of the Dobbs decision by the supreme court overturning Roe V. Wade this year. In this episode I talk to Bethany Corbin, a Femtech innovation and data privacy attorney, about the Femtech industry and its challenges in a post Roe V. Wade world - what kind of data do these apps collect? What are the unique data privacy concerns and how these were affected by Dobbs? Bethany discusses The calls to delete period tracking apps and other reactions to Dobbs, some actual cases of data privacy violations and gives tips on how to vet such apps to make sure they are compliant with stringent privacy standards. We also touch on data aggregation and utilizing AI in this space. I hope you enjoy this fascinating and timely conversation.
