International Womens Day - Ida Tin and femtech in the age of techbro’s

Ida Tin

In today’s digital age, technology is reshaping our understanding of and control over women’s bodies. From menstrual tracking apps to wearable devices, these tools promise empowerment but often come with hidden costs, such as data collection that fuels surveillance practices and commercial exploitation. Few people understand this dynamic better than Ida Tin, the co-founder of Clue, a groundbreaking app that redefined how women track and manage their reproductive health. In addition to her role in shaping femtech, Tin has been at the forefront of conversations about tech companies’ ethical responsibilities in handling sensitive health data. Her work raises critical questions about the balance between innovation and privacy, and how technology is influencing our autonomy over our own bodies.
