Women's Health Apps Prioritize Data Privacy

The allure of logging health details into an app is simple: ease, function, the ability to take control of your health, and informative feedback/insights at the touch of your fingertips. But unlike traditional medical records, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) does not protect this data as it is intended for personal use. With no federal legislation in place, it’s up to tech companies themselves (or individual states) to ensure data privacy and protection for consumers.

The Upsides of Self-Funding Your Biz, From Eadem Co-Founders

For Eadem co-founders Alice Lin Glover and Marie Kouadio Amouzame, the path to getting their inclusive, clean skin-care brand off the ground started with their own pocket books. The duo, who met while working in marketing at Google, had discovered a blank space in the market for clean skin care formulated with melanin-rich skin in mind. It was a gap in the industry they knew intimately as women of color (Amouzame is West African and French, and Glover is Taiwanese-American) and years of searchin

Vivian Tu's Approach to Financial Stability

The big house with a yard, luxury cars parked out front, six-figure bank accounts, and the ability to get what you want when you want it—together, it paints a picture that is often associated with financial stability, but is this really the case?
