Overview
Technology is making our lives easier than ever before. With one tap, we can call a car to pick us up, order dinner, or share a photo. But when it comes to issues that specifically impact women, we're often stuck in the last century. Women's health tracking is one of these issues. There hasn't been any true innovation in this area for decades.
