The fertility journey can be a heartbreaking, time-consuming, and costly experience for many individuals worldwide. Globally, 1 in 6 people are affected by infertility, with 19% of women aged 15 to 49 unable to get pregnant after one year of trying. When Dr. Jennifer Hintzsche was told she had unexplained fertility during her pregnancy journey, doctors expected her to undergo invasive infertility treatments that cost tens of thousands of dollars. That's when Dr. Jenn put her mind to work and began treating infertility as a scientific problem waiting to be solved. The result was her startup company known as PherDal, which offers the only sterile, FDA cleared at home insemination kit for individuals experiencing infertility. In this episode of FemInnovation, host Bethany Corbin sits down with Dr. Jenn to discuss her infertility journey, the creation of her startup, the FDA clearance process, the experience of crowdfunding her business, and much more! About Dr. Jennifer Hintzsche:Dr.  Jenn has defiantly stepped out of the shadows of an "infertile" diagnosis, setting her sights on revolutionizing healthcare. With a portfolio of over two dozen peer-reviewed scientific articles and 600+ citations in prestigious journals like Nature, Dr. Jenn's acumen is well-recognized. She became the first individual to receive a Ph.D. in Bioinformatics from NIU in 2014, preceded by a Master's in the same field. During her postdoctoral tenure at the University of Colorado, she made significant strides in cancer genomics that secured million-dollar grants, papers, and clinical trials. In 2019, she brought her expertise to healthcare SaaS as an analyst and developer. Within four years, she assumed leadership roles at two rapidly expanding pharmaceutical SaaS companies, helping them exponentially scale revenue past 15M+.Driven by a deep-seated passion, Dr. Hintzsche founded PherDal (a clever play on “fertile” with a nod to her Ph.D.), offering the first sterile, affordable, FDA-cleared at home fertility treatment. PherDal's initial 200 proof-of-concept kits sold out in 90 days, resulting in 34 reported pregnancies. In 2022, the company crowdfunded over $630K for FDA clearance. In 2023, Dr. Hintzsche was a top 5 finalist at the SXSW Pitch competition and featured innovator at LSI's Emerging MedTech Conference, and was selected to be part of the top 30 FemTech Companies to participate in Femovate. RELEVANT LINKS: Learn more about PherDal at this website. Follow PherDal on Facebook. Watch Dr. Jenn's Scientifically Femtech Video Interview (where she provides advice to the next generation of researchers and scientists looking to get involved in femtech) on the FemInnovator Community (login required – sign up for a FREE membership to the FemInnovator Community here to access the content and use coupon code FREEMEMBERSHIP).Connect with Our Guest, Dr. Jennifer Hintzsche: LINKEDIN | INSTAGRAM Follow Our Host, Bethany Corbin: WEBSITE | LINKEDIN | INSTAGRAM | ADDITIONAL LINKS

The exclusion of women from modern medicine is a complex and pervasive issue that spans centuries of medical practice. Despite advancements in healthcare, women continue to face systemic barriers that hinder their access to accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and equitable care. Historical biases, gender stereotypes, and a lack of representation in medical research have contributed to this exclusion, perpetuating disparities in health outcomes and quality of care. From underrepresentation in clinical trials to the dismissal of women's symptoms and concerns, the consequences of this exclusion are far-reaching, impacting women's health across diverse populations. In this episode of FemInnovation, host Bethany Corbin talks with Dr. Elizabeth Comen, author of the USA Today bestselling book “All in Her Head”, about the exclusion of women from medicine and how women today can advocate for their health and wellbeing in a world designed for men.  Specifically, Bethany and Dr. Comen dive into the shame and stigma women encounter when trying to discuss their health concerns, the equation of women's health with reproductive health, how bias in medicine affects both patients and providers, the societal need to control women, whether femtech is the answer to the exclusion of women in medicine, and how to change the ongoing narrative of women's health.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, digital health tools have proliferated as a way for consumers to access care virtually and monitor their health conditions at home. State and federal laws have been modified to expand care settings and enhance the accessibility of healthcare services. Digital health solutions, however, are still unavailable to large portions of the population, resulting in inequitable access to care that has, at times, been exacerbated by the digital health revolution. Key barriers to digital health adoption include digital literacy, inconsistent access to broadband and high-speed internet, lack of access to smartphones and cell service, and cultural competency. In this episode of FemInnovation, host Bethany Corbin sits down with Priya Bathija, a nationally recognized healthcare leader, attorney, and policy expert, to explore how femtech founders can enhance digital health equity. This episode explores the fundamentals of digital health equity, why digital health equity is essential in today's healthcare landscape, the impact socioeconomic factors have on digital health tools and resources, successful strategies for improving access to digital health services, how founders can design their products with digital health equity in mind, and much more!

Join us as Lauren Orlick from HeartSnug brings to light her mission to reinvent the patient experience for women. Listen in as Lauren shares with host Natalie Benamou the story behind HeartSnug's creation—an adjustable, X-ray safe, latex-free chest garment that offers dignity and comfort during medical procedures. Born out of personal encounters with the healthcare system, including her mother's cancer journey and her co-founder Sara Dorband's lifelong heart journey. Lauren discusses the long-overdue need for innovation in patient care apparel which hasn't been updated in 100 years. This conversation explores not only the product itself, but the broader implications for patient advocacy and the recognition of women's health needs within the healthcare industry and ways industry and government policies can make access equitable.In our heartfelt discussion, we tackle the concept of patients feeling like they have an option for privacy, especially for young people who often feel most vulnerable in clinical settings. The traditional hospital gown is often a thick material that is difficult to fit properly. HeartSnug aims to restore a sense of control and dignity to patients.Favorite Quotes: "Innovation isn't just about creating new technology; it's about understanding human needs and responding with empathy. - Lauren Orlick“HeartSnug embodies transforming healthcare apparel to honor the comfort and dignity of patients, proving that true innovation touches the heart as much as it does the mind." - Lauren Orlick"We are giving patients a voice and a choice in their healthcare experience.

Many femtech entrepreneurs want to enhance their presence as recognized public speakers who get paid to share their insights with audiences worldwide. The reality, however, is that only 32% of professional public speakers are women and only 25% of all technology keynote or stand-alone public speakers are women. Too often, women struggle to break into the public speaking arena or are offered speaking engagements solely to add diversity to an all-male panel. This devalues the expertise of incredible founders and entrepreneurs who have important insights, journeys, and lessons to share with interested audiences. In this episode of FemInnovation, host Bethany Corbin speaks with Bobbie Carlton, founder of Innovation Women and Carlton PR & Marketing, about how women entrepreneurs can fight for their place on stage. Bethany and Bobbie discuss tips and tricks for women to get their names known in the public speaking world, why it's important to start your public speaking journey early, and how to find your “secret sauce” and core message that sets you apart from other speakers. They also explore how speakers can set themselves up for success when taking that next step into paid public speaking, how to think about your own business model as a speaker, and why it's essential to do the hard work before presentations to deliver real value. This episode is a must-listen for any female (especially those in femtech) who is looking to create a bigger presence on stage! RELEVANT LINKS: More about Innovation Women at this website. More about Carlton PR & Marketing at this website.Follow Innovation Women @LinkedInFree Speaker Resources at this website. Connect with Our Guest, Bobbie Carlton: LINKEDIN | INSTAGRAMFollow Our Host, Bethany Corbin:WEBSITE | LINKEDIN | INSTAGRAM | ADDITIONAL LINKS

It's no secret that female founders remain extremely underfunded in today's entrepreneurial world, receiving only 2% of total venture capital dollars.

As the first in her family to graduate college, Carrie began investing her money into female-founded companies, generating a 10x ROI in just five short years.

You may have heard a lot about FemTech in recent months. Did you know that the phrase has only been around since 2016? This week on HerCsuite™ Radio we dive into the details and give you an Insider View of FemTech with Bethany Corbin, Founder and CEO of FemInnovation. She shares with host Natalie Benamou, all the ways women's healthcare is impacted from clinical trials to data privacy and more.Bethany is a healthcare innovation and FemTech attorney on a mission to help thought leading companies revolutionize women's health. Through her company FemInnovation, she partners with emerging companies at the forefront of healthcare transformation to ensure they are building robust, scalable, and legally compliant businesses focused on enhancing health equity.5 Fast Facts about FemTech1. FemTech is also a relatively new industry.2. The term was only coined back in 2016, and it was really coined because we needed to give a definition and dialogue to women's health care, and so whenever we talk about FemTech, we're talking about anything that's digital health related for women's health conditions.3. Beyond period tracking apps, ovulation apps, fertility apps, FemTech is branching out beyond reproductive care.4. There's been a huge emphasis on menopause and longevity.5. Chronic care conditions especially with breast and uterine health coming into play. “One of my personal favorites is a company called AOA that is actually trying to do a blood test for ovarian cancer, since there's really no early-stage detection.” Bethany CorbinAccess to Clinical TrialsIt wasn't until 1993 that women were allowed to participate in clinical trials. There was this a longstanding FDA prohibition from 1977.When we think about it that way, we have a huge gender data gap when it comes to healthcare, and one size fits all solutions have been applied from male physiology to the female body. A lot of the interventions that we've had have been male designed, not necessarily designed for females. This is contributing to the growth of the FemTech industry and the emphasis on personalized care for women. HIPPA and FemTech· There is a very common misconception that exists over what HIPAA does and doesn't cover.· A lot of women think that the same data that they give their healthcare provider and they put into their FemTech app, that it's going to be covered by HIPAA, because it doesn't make sense that all healthcare data wouldn't be treated the same.· HIPAA, in the privacy rule, is only protecting your protected health information when it's possessed by a covered entity, and by covered entity what they mean is your healthcare provider, your health plan or your healthcare clearinghouse.· The majority of the FemTech apps on the market today don't fit in that definition. So that means they fall entirely outside the bounds of HIPAA.· You could give that exact same data to your healthcare provider, and it's protected. That same data shared with your healthcare app, is not protected.· The biggest risk to your healthcare data happens when it is sold to data brokers.Actions To TakeReach out to your elected officials about healthcare data privacy and restrictions on what can be shared or sold without your knowledge.
