#WomensHealth #FemTech #GirlsHealth

In this episode of Blush and Bloom, Gigi Kenneth sits with Eniko Simon, founder and Chief Product Officer of IslaFem. We talk about why adolescent girls are underserved in women’s health, how traditional systems overlook early symptoms, and how IslaFem uses co-design with teens, parents, and clinicians to build safer, more effective tools.

Eniko shares her journey across UK and UAE healthcare systems, her 20-year path to chronic fatigue diagnosis, and why early patient advocacy matters. We also discuss responsible AI for young users, emotional wellbeing for Gen Z and Gen Alpha, and how founders can build with empathy from day one.
