Ida Tin and femtech in the age of techbros

With Ida Tin (co-founder of menstrual health app Clue), we’ll explore the intersection of technology and the female body. How does the tech industry increasingly shape our most personal experiences?

In today’s digital age, technology deeply influences our understanding and control of the female body. From period-tracking apps to wearable devices, these tools promise empowerment but often come with hidden costs, such as data collection that fuels surveillance practices and commercial exploitation. Few understand these dynamics better than Ida Tin, the co-founder of Clue, a pioneering app that redefined how women track and manage their reproductive health.

Beyond her role in shaping femtech, Tin has been at the forefront of conversations about the ethical responsibilities of tech companies in handling sensitive health data. Her work raises critical questions about the balance between innovation and privacy, and how technology impacts autonomy over our own bodies.

International Women’s weekend in De Balie

In the weekend of International Women’s Day (7 March – 8 March), De Balie invites leading thinkers, creators, and entrepreneurs to reflect on contemporary feminism. In a world where radical right-wing politicians and tech bros seem to be joining forces, what challenges do women face?

About Techdenkers

Technology has become an inseparable part of our lives, but do we pay enough attention to it? During Techdenkers we explore the ethical implications of technological innovation. What influence does the arrival of AI have on our lives? How are we going to solve the climate crisis with the help of technology? And do we want algorithms to determine our choice of partner?

The Techdenkers series is provided and broadcast by De Balie and is part of our partnership with Adyen.
