Femtech World is excited to reveal the shortlist for this year's AI Innovation award. The honour is one of 10 being celebrated at Femtech World's third annual awards event. The AI Innovation award, sponsored by Women's Health Week, honours the individuals and organisations using AI to do something genuinely difficult: make healthcare work better for [...]

Artera has won FDA clearance for ArteraAI Breast, its breast cancer platform for patients with early-stage HR-positive, HER2-negative invasive breast cancer. ArteraAI Breast is the first and only FDA-cleared digital pathology-based risk stratification tool for breast cancer. These FDA milestones come alongside recent CE marking for both the ArteraAI Prostate Biopsy Assay and the ArteraAI [...]

A recent study developed a new "digital companion" to support the prevention and follow-up of maternal cardiovascular risk in women with pregnancy complications. Cardiovascular disease, or CVD, is the leading cause of premature death and illness in women, yet sex-specific causes remain understudied and women are underrepresented in research. Pregnancy complications, including hypertensive disorders of [...]

The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched an AI tool in beta to help policymakers, experts and healthcare professionals access sexual and reproductive health information faster. Called ChatHRP, the tool was created by WHO’s Human Reproduction Programme and draws only on verified research and guidance collected by HRP and WHO. It uses natural language processing [...]

An AI atlas has mapped how reproductive organs age through menopause, with the ovaries, vagina and uterus changing on different timelines. To better understand how this process affects health, researchers at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center developed what they describe as the first large-scale atlas of female reproductive system ageing, using artificial intelligence. The team combined [...]

An AI tool could help spot breast cancer risk by analysing how individual breast cells behave when squeezed under stress, research suggests. Researchers at City of Hope and the University of California, Berkeley, created a microfluidic platform that assesses women’s breast cancer risk at the cellular level. The platform squeezes individual breast epithelial cells, which [...]

An independent meta-analysis from January 2026, pooling 2,117 patients and 2,176 Magseed marker placements, has reported low re-excision rates (8.2%) and low positive margins (7.6%) when the marker is used to localise non-palpable breast lesions prior to breast‑conserving surgery (BCS). Al Darwashi et al. (2026) pooled 16 studies to evaluate safety and efficacy outcomes when the [...]

Future Fertility, a Toronto-based health technology company specialising in AI-powered fertility insights, has entered the Japanese market through a new commercial partnership with Kato Ladies Clinic — a globally recognised leader in IVF research and advancing clinical fertility care. The collaboration marks Future Fertility’s first partnership in Japan and reflects growing global demand for technologies [...]

Entries for the Femtech World AI Innovation Award close this Friday at 4pm BST. Now in its third year, the Femtech World Awards recognise the best examples of leadership, innovation and impact across women's health. The AI Innovation category, introduced in 2025, honours an individual or organisation pioneering the use of AI to transform women's [...]

By Con Raso, managing director, Tuned Global Music and movement are neurologically intertwined. Tempo influences pace, rhythm supports endurance, and familiar tracks can reduce perceived exertion. Beyond physiology, music creates shared moments. It sets the atmosphere, builds anticipation and turns individual activity into collective experience. For sports, wellness and fitness brands, this means music selection [...]
