From Perimenopause to Femtech: A Holistic Approach to Women's Health. Interview with Heidi Davis

The Healthy Post Natal Body Podcast

Have you ever found yourself contending with symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, irritability, or anxiety? These could be the signs of perimenopause, a stage in a woman's life that barely gets the consideration it deserves.
In today's episode I have the pleasure of talking to Heidi Davis CEO and Co-founder of Identifyher.ai
Heidi has a an Msc in Molecular Medicine and was included on the Incredible women in health tech the 2022 longlist published by Health Tech World.
We discuss all things perimenopause related;
From how it can begin as early as the mid-30s.
To how it can lead to a host of disruptive symptoms (that are often misunderstood due to the lack of conclusive diagnostic tests).
But the conversation doesn't stop at understanding perimenopause.
We explore how technology is revolutionizing our approach to women's health, bringing down the limitations of self-reported dietary and health habits.
Heidi explains the many benefits of having reliable data that women can even take to their healthcare professional to actually show them what's going on, rather than having to remember a whole bunch of symptoms.
Get to know the potential of wearable devices in providing more reliable data, and let's shed light on the subtle differences between how diseases manifest in women compared to men.
The disparities in health outcomes are alarming, and there is a pressing need for more research and funding into products designed specifically for women's health.
Finally, let's dive into the challenges and opportunities in designing women's health products.
We share our thoughts on the current wellness industry trends like supplement overload and high costs, and how they can be avoided.
You'll hear about the importance of gender inclusivity in the design process and discover how both genders can contribute to better health outcomes for women.
Definitely check out, and support where you can, Identifyher.ai's work towards a future where women's health is understood, recognized, and prioritized.
