Episode Synopsis

#WomensHealth #DigitalHealth #FemTech In this episode of Blush and Bloom, I sit down with Dr. Michelle Frank — a medical doctor, women’s health advocate, and digital health expert who calls herself an unconventional doctor. She’s spent over a decade helping women access safer, more empathetic healthcare through technology and community. Dr. Michelle shares her journey from clinical practice to digital innovation, what she’s learned from talking to women every day for ten years, and why empathy, trust, and listening are still missing in most women’s health apps. In this conversation: ✨ What “unconventional doctor” really means ✨ The assumptions digital health keeps making about women ✨ Why empathy and safety should guide every femtech product ✨ How stigma still shapes women’s health globally ✨ What AI can (and can’t) do for women’s health ✨ Why tracking symptoms helps women advocate for themselves This is a thoughtful conversation about rethinking how we build and deliver care for women — and why true innovation starts with listening. 📌 Show notes & resources https://www.asele.tech/post/blush-and-bloom-ep19-digital-health-and-women Connect with Us • Dr. Michelle Frank – https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-frank/ • Gigi Kenneth (Host) – https://www.linkedin.com/in/gigikenneth Mentioned in this episode • Cycle Positivity – https://www.cyclepositivity.com/ • SHEROES – https://sheroes.com/ • My Health Chat – https://twitter.com/search?q=%23MyHealthChat More from Asele ✨ Visit Asele – https://asele.tech/ ✨ Try the Asele app – https://asele.health/ ✨ Join our WhatsApp community – https://chat.whatsapp.com/F8GY4RV7Bm2CtCfq6TONsV ✨ LinkedIn – https://linkedin.com/company/asele ✨ Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/6NEsMfkG3dvl0pYXU40Efi ✨ Apple Podcasts – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blush-and-bloom/id1832044848 💬 What’s one thing you wish digital health companies understood better about women’s needs?
