digital health maven dot edu – episode 24:  October 23, 2020 Over the past few episodes, I have been focusing a lot on a new initiative I launched last year with Denise Pines, president of the Medical Board of California and women’s health expert and champion, called the FemAging Project. The project is designed to educate on the unique health, wellness and well-being issues faced by women over the age of 40. Another goal is to accelerate innovative solutions for their most urgent health concerns. Denise and I had the opportunity to participate in a virtual Fireside Chat with Natalie Yeadon, co-founder of Impetus Digital. Natalie’s company works with life sciences organizations to drive virtual collaboration engagement and knowledge gathering/transfer. This podcast features excerpts of our chat with Natalie, focusing on the “why” behind the FemAging Project, surprising insights from our FemAging research and more.

digital health maven dot edu – episode 23:  July 14, 2020 This is a very special episode featuring a conversation between me and Denis Pines. Together we developed two recently published reports: FemAging 2020 and FemAging in the COVID 19 Era. Denise is president of the Medical Board of California and serves on the Martin Luther King Community Hospital Foundation. She also serves in leadership positions in the California University of Science and Medicine, School of Medicine, the Triple Step Toward the Cure, and is an award-winning marketer and serial entrepreneur, with experience in 10 startups including multimedia companies and foundations. What is FemAging? Well, FemAging (a term introduced by Denise and I) refers to a trend focusing on the health and wellness needs of mature women — specifically those between the ages of 40 to 65. FemAging 2020 reveals the unique and surprising health, wellness and well-being needs of these women. It also focuses on how FemAging Tech innovations — solutions such as software, diagnostics, devices, nutraceuticals, wearables, pharmaceuticals, clothing and other products and services developed specifically for women ages 40+ — are not meeting older women’s needs. The FemAging in the COVID-19 era report focuses on how mature women view the coronavirus crisis as having a long-term — not temporary — but long-term impact on their health and well-being. For more information about FemAging and FemAging Tech, please visit www.femaging.com where you can download the FemAging 2020 and FemAging in the COVID-19 Era reports, and contact us about this research.
