WOW Health (World of Women’s Health) has expanded its discovery platform with a new suite of funding tools and data resources, giving founders, investors, and partners a clearer view of where capital and innovation are moving across women’s health. The expansion includes tracking of venture capital and merger and acquisition activity, a resource hub for founders, and a growing library of women’s health research datasets. They join the platform’s existing directory of companies, investors, and allies, along with its 43 market maps spanning areas from fertility and chronic disease to metabolic health and menopause.
The additions reflect a broader shift in women’s health, as founders, funders, researchers, employers, clinicians, and policy stakeholders look for clearer ways to understand a sector that has long been underfunded and under-researched.
New Funding Tools for Founders and Investors
At the center of the expansion is a set of tools that follow capital across femtech as it moves. The platform now includes a venture capital deal tracker, a mergers and acquisitions tracker, and a resource hub for founders. Together, they let founders see which investors are active in their category and where new capital is available, while giving investors and partners a live view of deal flow and consolidation across the sector.
Femtech, the term commonly used for technology-enabled products and services focused on women’s health, has grown well beyond its early association with fertility and period tracking. It now spans diagnostics, medical devices, therapeutics, digital care models, workplace health solutions, consumer health platforms, and data tools that address a wide range of women’s health needs.
Women’s Health Datasets to Fuel Innovation
Alongside the funding tools, WOW Health now includes a library of women’s health datasets. These span mobile app, biometric, survey, cohort, and longitudinal datasets, resources that can help researchers, founders, and clinicians close persistent gaps in women’s health innovation. Because women’s health has historically been under-studied, reliable data has been scarce and scattered, and hard for the people building new products. WOW Health brings these datasets into one place, where they can inform new studies, sharpen product development, and surface unmet needs.
Women’s health has long been shaped by gaps in funding, research, clinical attention, and data. While innovation has accelerated across reproductive health, menopause, maternal health, pelvic health, chronic disease, and other categories, the information needed to support it, from capital to research data, has often remained fragmented and hard to find. WOW Health, available at wowhealth.co, was built to bring it together.
43 Market Maps Across Categories and Regions
WOW Health’s market maps now number 43 in total. Fifteen organize the sector by disease and health category, including menstrual, reproductive, maternal, hormonal, menopause, uterine, pelvic, sexual, breast, women’s cancer, metabolic and gut, brain and mental, longevity, wellness and general health, and chronic disease. A further 21 map the field country by country, and 7 more group it by region. Together they give companies, investors, and partners a way to evaluate how innovation is developing across conditions, life stages, care needs, and geographies.
The maps are designed as a living view of the field rather than a static directory. As new companies enter the market and established organizations expand, WOW Health updates its view of the ecosystem to capture early signals, regional activity, and category growth.
The Economic Case
McKinsey and the World Economic Forum have identified the women’s health gap as a major economic opportunity, estimating that closing it could add an average of seven healthy days of life per woman each year and unlock at least $1 trillion in global GDP annually by 2040. WOW Health’s funding tools are designed to make part of that opportunity more visible by documenting where investment is happening, what kinds of companies are attracting capital, and how consolidation may shape the industry’s next stage.
A Living Resource for the Future of Women’s Health
WOW Health’s expansion comes as women’s health draws increasing attention from venture capital, health systems, employers, researchers, and policymakers. The field has moved from a narrow category into a multi-segment innovation market spanning prevention, diagnosis, treatment, care delivery, benefits, community support, and health equity. Greater visibility into this activity may support more efficient capital allocation, stronger partnerships, and a broader understanding of unmet needs.
