Big data and femtech

Tech Life

Available for over a year

Tech Life is looking at big data - and how important it is to healthcare. Specifically, how it can help women's health. A femtech company in the United States is using monthly menstrual and hormone data gathered from thousands of women to gain new insights into the symptoms which lead-up to the menopause - the time in their lives when women's periods stop. We speak to the company's co-founder and CEO. Also on Tech Life this week: A global survey weighs up the influence of social media and AI on accurate news and information. And, are chatbots changing the way we search for information online ? Presenter: Zoe Kleinman Producers: Imran Rahman-Jones and Tom Quinn (Photo: A woman checks a health app on her smartphone.
