Femtech, or businesses building technology to support women’s health are growing fast but how much of that growth is supporting women in the parts of the world where access to healthcare can sometimes be difficult?

Hannah Mullane speaks to businesses who are providing technology to support women’s health in low income countries.

We hear how apps are adapted to work in places where internet is intermittent and access to electricity can be limited and we discuss how a business operates when the consumer doesn’t always have the means to pay.

Producer/Presenter: Hannah Mullane
