FemTech Research Hub
The FemTech Research Hub is the UK's dedicated academic-industry partnership platform for women's health technology. We work alongside FemTech businesses – from seed-stage startups to global health companies – to generate the clinical evidence, regulatory pathways, and real-world data that turn promising ideas into products women can trust.
Hosted within ARU's Centre for Biomedicine and Health Innovation (CBHI) and powered by the Women's Health Evidence Synthesis and Methodology Research Unit (EVIE) and the EVE Clinical Network of seven East-of-England NHS Trusts, the Hub brings together academic rigour, NHS access, and commercial insight under a single roof.
Our vision
A future in which every woman has access to safe, effective, and equitable health technologies – built on robust evidence and shaped by the people who use them.
Our mission
To accelerate the development, validation, and adoption of women's health technologies by providing FemTech businesses with end-to-end research and translational support – from first idea to NHS-scale impact.
