The Digital Wellness Industry Is Hijacking Women’s Health

The article discusses how the digital wellness industry is capitalizing on the under-researched topics of menopause and perimenopause by using data-driven marketing strategies. It highlights Apple's new health app feature that claims to detect perimenopause through a series of questions about symptoms like fatigue, decreased libido, night sweats, and itching. Once users confirm these symptoms, the app suggests potential hormonal imbalances and offers further information via a chatbot. This development reflects a growing trend where technology companies are entering the health sector, often raising concerns about the accuracy of such diagnostics and the commercialization of personal health data.
