The Menopause Transition, Public Health, and FemTech: What Data Is Missing and Why It Matters

btob

In honour of International Women’s Day, this webinar spotlights a major blind spot in women’s health: the menopause transition— spanning perimenopause, the final menstrual period, and post‑menopause, which affects millions of women, yet remains under‑recognised in population health indicators, under‑measured in routine health data, and under‑prioritised in research and investment. This data blind spot has real consequences, as it limits how stakeholders understand needs and implement support systems (for example, in the workplace), how health systems plan services, and how digital solutions are designed, evaluated, and scaled.In this webinar, we take a public health and intersectional health data lens to the menopause transition to explore what is currently measured and what is missing across symptoms, care pathways, outcomes, and lived experience, particularly in the years where changes often begin but are least consistently captured.We will review what today’s FemTech and women’s health digital solutions can offer (e.g., symptom tracking, sleep and wearable signals, telehealth models) and where they often fall short: representative datasets, validated measures, longitudinal follow‑up, linkage to clinical outcomes, and equity‑sensitive design. We will also discuss how bias can enter both data and product development, and how “one‑size‑fits‑all” approaches may unintentionally reinforce inequities across age, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, disability, and access to care.Finally, we will address what it takes to enable trusted data sharing in women’s health—clear consent, transparency, user control, privacy‑by‑design, and responsible use of AI—so insights can be generated without compromising dignity, autonomy, or safety.This webinar is relevant to you if you are:In HR or a people manager who need to understand how this pivotal period can affect women&#39;s wellbeing and performance in the workplace if not understood and accommodated.HealthTech entrepreneurs, investors, public health authorities, and researchers interested in understanding more about this underserved population or want to contribute their experiences to the conversation.A woman or know a woman (that&#39;s everyone!) because better support first starts with understanding. Come learn about the menopause transition, so we can map a better future together!
