No More Silence in FemTech with Dr. Brittany Barreto

Did you know that a meager 4% of pharma R&D targets women's health? Or that there are no published statistics on PMS-related work absences? These startling realities take center stage as host Brenda Darden-Wilkerson chats with FemTech pioneer Dr. Brittany Barreto, host of "The FemTech Focus Podcast.” Together, they define what FemTech actually means and how it impacts all of our lives. They dig deep into FemTech's overlooked goldmine and unpack its vital, often life-or-death implications. In a conversation full of incredible insights, urgency, and opportunity — Dr. Barreto delivers a powerful wake-up call about the price of avoiding those ‘uncomfortable’ conversations about women’s health and bodies and offers practical ways to be part of the coming FemTech revolution.“This is really critical because, on the most extreme sense, women's lives are on the line. They're literally dying due to the lack of diagnostics or accurate treatments to help them.”For more of Dr. Barreto check out...Instagram - @drbrittanybarreto & @femtechfocusX - @DrBrittB, @FemTech_Focus & @FHInsightsLinkedIn - @Brittany Barreto, Ph.D., @FemTech Focus & @FemHealth Insights On the Web - drbrittanybarreto.com---At AnitaB.org, we envision a future where the people who imagine and build technology mirror the people and societies for whom they build it.
