#WomensHealth #FemTech #MedicalAI

In this episode of Blush and Bloom, Gigi Kenneth sits with Dr. Oshin Behl, clinician-scientist and Innovation Manager at ZEISS, to talk about the gaps that exist in women’s health research, the misunderstood role of medical AI, and why innovation must consider both clinical and commercial realities. We explore why women are still underrepresented in clinical trials, how AI tools can fall short, and what it takes to build solutions that truly support women. Dr. Oshin also shares her journey from medical school to innovation, her thoughts on rising infertility trends, and what women should know when advocating for themselves in healthcare settings.

This episode is great for anyone interested in FemTech, digital health, medical AI, infertility research, and women’s health advocacy.
