Women's Health: Breaking Barriers and Building Bridges
In the realm of women's health, this Breast Cancer Awareness Month is witnessing a remarkable transformation, with cancer rates alarmingly high within their communities, women are resolutely dispelling misconceptions and raising crucial awareness.
We also take a look into the transformative world of FemTech, perimenopause, and the demanding modern work environment's toll on mental health, particularly for working women and mothers. The COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated the common mental health challenges that women face, given their unique circumstances.

Audrey Tsang, CEO of Clue, explores FemTech & perimenopause
In honour of Perimenopause Awareness Month, Audrey Tsang, CEO of Clue, shares her journey from Silicon Valley and her vision for empowering reproductive health with FemTech.
"Tech is an incredible equaliser and to be able to build tech that serves women and moves female health forward was too exciting an opportunity to turn down.”
Clue, a trusted menstrual and reproductive health app, aims to inform and guide individuals from their first period to their last. Audrey discusses the significance of FemTech, the often misunderstood perimenopause, and the vital role Clue plays in supporting this life stage.
