A vital policy brief, based on our debates in a workshop critically assessing the Femtech sector and digital contraception. The multimillion industry raises concerns, given the lack of robust regulation and empirical evidence of accuracy and health benefit in a diverse population

Might there be any context-specific data on how this affects the quality of health care and gendered patient outcomes?

Very happy to be part of this important workshop, taking a close critical look at Femtech and digital contraception and interrogating how beneficent these technologies actually are to the health and wellbeing of women and fellow tech users. What a great programme and discussions!

Glad to hear that our paper resonates!

Latest work in which we explore the complexity of digital technologies for global mental health and the conditions under which they could offer intersectionally beneficent health care, guided by the specific needs and agency of under-served and structurally vulnerable populations

New work, in which we argue that given the growing pool of empirical evidence of unequal health outcomes through digital health, debates on democratization need to be connected with social determinants of health, but also, the concern needs to go beyond democratization to justice

Our paper Fair and equitable #AI in biomedical research and healthcare: Social science perspectives is out in Artificial Intelligence in Medicine. Coauthored with a large and interdisciplinary team of researchers led by Renate Baumgartner and open access sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
