SSAC23: FemTech or “Bro”Tech: Are Data from Wearables Missing the Mark for Female Athletes?

One of the largest innovations in tech and the medical sphere is FemTech; the use of specific technologies, protocols, diagnostic tools to close the data gap and have a better understanding of female specific metrics.
