Chronic Pelvic Pain, FemTech, and the Historical Gender Bias in Medicine–with Gaia Salizzoni, CEO & Co-founder of Hale

In this episode, Gaia Salizzoni, co-founder of Hale, joins us to explore the world of FemTech and its role in addressing women’s health challenges. Hale is on a mission to diagnose and manage chronic pelvic pain—an issue affecting one in four women yet often overlooked due to cultural stigmas and medical gaps. Gaia shares how Hale is bridging this divide by combining education, community support, and hybrid healthcare solutions to make expert care more accessible. We discuss the barriers women face in seeking help, the misconceptions surrounding pelvic pain, and the systemic challenges in FemTech, from underlooked issues to medical bias. Join us as we explore how Hale is redefining gynecological health and the resilience that often drives women founders like Gaia.
