Femtech (or female technology) is a term used to define software and services that use technology tailored towards women's health. This includes fertility solutions, period-tracking apps, pregnancy and nursing care, women's sexual wellness, and reproductive system health care. While there are several different aspects of women's health femtech applies to, femtech mainly focuses on menstruation care through period-tracking apps.^[1] Before femtech was officially established, Luna Luna, created by a firm in Japan, helped women keep track of their menstruation cycles.^[2]

Femtech did not become an official term until 2016—Ida Tin, a Danish entrepreneur, created the term.^[3] Femtech is specifically focused on applications for women's health. These applications come in several different forms, such as mobile apps and medical devices. The industry has grown and continues to grow since femtech was official established. By 2025, with continuous growth, the femtech industry could be worth $50 billion.^[3]
