书籍简介

这项技术可以改变女性的一切——具体方法如下。

女性在日常生活中做出 80% 以上的医疗保健决策，但只有 4% 的医学研究和开发专注于女性健康问题。从月经、分娩到更年期，女性疼痛已经变得正常化，因为社会只是耸耸肩说“欢迎成为女性”，而不是想出更好的解决方案。但事情不用这样。在本书中，获奖记者 Marina Gerner 博士以令人大开眼界的视角，观察了那些挑战现状、提供女性所需医疗保健解决方案的创新者。

本书采访了来自 15 个国家的 100 名企业家，探讨了女性健康的未来，以女性为中心的公司正在开发产品，帮助女性在人生的每个阶段。这些产品包括：

带有心电图技术的智能胸罩，可提前预测心脏病发作

使用唾液跟踪排卵期的家用生育设备

帮助女性获得药物流产并在家中安全实施的应用程序

阴道和盆底扩张器，可大幅降低分娩时阴道撕裂的发生率

针对特殊人群及其需求量身定制的医疗保健应用程序，不会带来任何耻辱感

预防分娩损伤并在更年期恢复盆底和阴道的设备

Gerner 还带领读者走进董事会，那里只有 2.1% 的风险投资资金流向了女性创办的公司，并发出了战斗口号：女性不应因为尴尬和无知而被剥夺健康问题的解决方案。每个女人都应该得到更好的待遇。

This tech could change everything for women―here's how.

Women make over 80% of health decisions in everyday life, yet only 4% of all medical research and development is focused on women's health issues. From periods and birth to menopause, female pain has been normalized, as society shrugs and says "Welcome to being a woman" instead of coming up with better solutions. But it doesn't have to be this way. In The Vagina Business, award-winning journalist Marina Gerner PhD takes an eye-opening look at the innovators challenging the status quo to deliver the health solutions women need.

With interviews from 100 entrepreneurs across 15 countries, The Vagina Business explores the future of women's health, where female-focused companies are developing products to help women at every stage of life. Some of these products include:

A smart bra with EKG technology that can predict heart attacks early

An in-home fertility gadget that uses saliva to track ovulation

Apps to help women get access to medical abortions and perform them at home safely

A vaginal and pelvic floor dilator that could drastically reduce the rate of vaginal tearing in birth

Health apps tailored to special people and their needs, without stigma

Devices that prevent birth injuries and restore the pelvic floor and vagina during menopause

Gerner also takes the reader inside the boardroom, where only 2.1% of venture capital dollars goes toward companies founded by women, and issues a rallying cry: Women should not be denied solutions to health issues because of embarrassment and ignorance. Every woman deserves better.
