The word “FemTech” often envokes excitement and curiosity. The same isn’t usually said for “privacy and data security,” which is enough to make most people’s eyes glaze over. Yet, embracing privacy and data security is vital for advancing the FemTech industry and accelerating progress in women’s health in 2022 and beyond.

A true revolution in women’s health relies on data. Quality data. Collecting quality data requires trust. That's why privacy, data security, and trust are essential values at Maila Health. They appear throughout our company's Culture Code and are central to our definition of "meaningful innovation."

For more about why embracing privacy and data security is good for health, check out our recent article on Medium.

Our ability to learn and innovate is only as good as the quality of our data

For people with type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes during pregnancy, careful monitoring is required to prevent drastic changes in blood glucose. Blood glucose levels that are too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia) in pregnancy can lead to complications.

In pregnancy, hyperglycemia is linked to newborns that are large for their gestational age (macrosomia), fetal malformations, preterm births, and stillbirths. Moreover, hyperglycemia can impact the baby’s long-term health, resulting in a higher blood glucose level and lower insulin sensitivity in childhood. Comparatively, hypoglycemia is associated with lower birth weight, head circumference, and body length.

Contact your healthcare provider if you're experiencing symptoms of high or low blood sugar. Symptoms of high blood sugar include thirst, headaches, difficulty concentrating, blurry vision, weakness, fatigue, yeast infections, and frequent urination. Symptoms of low blood sugar include hunger, headaches, dizziness, shaking, confusion, sweating, mood swings, a fast heartbeat, and paleness.
