Meet the Author! Unlocking Women's Health by Dr. Brittany Barreto
About this Event
Join us for an inspiring evening celebrating innovation in women's health at the beautiful Thistle Farms Café in Nashville.
Whether you're an entrepreneur, healthcare professional, investor, researcher, student, or simply passionate about improving women's health, this event offers an opportunity to connect with Nashville's thriving FemTech community and hear from leaders shaping the future of care.
The evening begins with an intimate fireside chat between women's health expert, FemTech Focus podcast host, and bestselling author Dr. Brittany Barreto and moderator Shaherah Yancy, exploring the stories behind Unlocking Women's Health: FemTech and the Quest for Gender Equity, why women's health has been overlooked for generations, and the innovators working to change that.
The conversation continues with a panel featuring two remarkable Tennessee leaders in women's health innovation:
• Miller Morris, Founder & CEO of Comma Collective (www.yourcomma.com)
• Amy Green, Founder & CGO of Mamaya Health (www.mamayahealth.com)
Together, they'll discuss building healthcare companies in Nashville, the future of women's health innovation, and what it takes to transform scientific discoveries into real-world impact.
Following the discussion, guests are invited to enjoy networking, light bites, and drinks while meeting fellow attendees and having their books signed by Dr. Barreto.
About the Book
Based on the award-winning FemTech Focus podcast, Unlocking Women's Health: FemTech and the Quest for Gender Equity introduces readers to more than 100 researchers, founders, clinicians, and investors transforming women's healthcare across fourteen health categories.
From menopause and maternal health to cardiovascular disease, fertility, mental health, diagnostics, and beyond, the book explores groundbreaking innovations while highlighting the systemic gaps that have left women under-researched, underfunded, and underserved. Equal parts educational resource and call to action, Unlocking Women's Health offers a hopeful vision for the future of healthcare.
