After building one of the world’s biggest women’s health apps—and selling it to one of the world’s biggest tech companies— Amber Vodegel thought about retiring and spending her days playing tennis. “I’ve definitely thought about slowing down, but I couldn’t walk away knowing how much still needs to change in women’s health,” she tells Femtech World. “Tennis can wait.”Vodegel began building Pregnancy+ in 2012 as a side-hustle, while continuing in her day job at an advertising agency.

In March, six leading startups in the femtech space filed formal complaints with the European Commission over systemic bias and discrimination in content moderation by major online platforms. Led by advocacy campaign CensHERship and blended-finance investment portfolio The Case For Her, the start-ups are invoking the Digital Services Act (DSA) to expose how platforms disproportionately restrict, shadow ban and remove health-related content aimed at women.

Even with its vast resources, in the US, Black women are two to three times more likely to die during childbirth than their white peers. It’s no better in the UK, where maternal mortality for Black women is currently almost four times higher than for white women.

I recently had the opportunity to visit Dalgety's UK medical cannabis cultivation facility. My full report, as well as a deep dive into the UK industry— and the growing economic argument for regulation of non-medical adult use— is up now on Forbes. https://t.co/19qIbRpuxB
As someone who also edited a cannabis magazine for several years @veverka_robert's story felt very close to home. I'm grateful to him for speaking to me at length about his experience for @Filtermag_org and to @godfreywill for the commission and recognising its importance.
Robert Veverka ran a cannabis/harm reduction magazine. Convicted in 2021 in a case of "gross censorship," he's still fighting for justice, he tells @sarahlsinclair_. "Prohibition is the real crime. That’s my power, the force which helps me to go on." https://t.co/Gq1O2mUR08
For @StylistMagazine I had the opportunity to try @MYndspan to find out how healthy my brain is (pleased to report I'm only 26 according to my 'functional' brain age 🤯) and there's some v interesting science behind it Thank you @MirandaLarbi for the fascinating commission!
