FEMTECH AND WOMEN'S HEALTH RESEARCH - A BIBLIOMETRIC REVIEW OF TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS

Abstract

Femtech, a rapidly emerging sector integrating technology into women's health, has transformed healthcare accessibility and personalization. This study conducts a bibliometric review to analyze research trends, key developments, and gaps within Femtech literature. By leveraging bibliometric methods, we identify dominant research themes, influential authors, and collaboration networks. The analysis highlights Femtech’s contributions to reproductive health, maternal care, and wellness through mobile applications, wearable devices, and AI-driven health solutions. Despite its potential, challenges such as data privacy concerns, regulatory ambiguities, and gender biases in technology adoption persist. Findings indicate a growing interest in Femtech, with increasing academic and commercial investments shaping its trajectory. Understanding these developments is crucial for advancing inclusive and effective digital health solutions for women. This study provides valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders aiming to foster innovation in Femtech and women's healthcare.
