Trust Through Transparency: Blockchain for Consent and Accountability in Femtech Applications

Abstract

In recent years, Femtech has emerged as a growing market category dedicated to women’s health technologies. Despite its rapid expansion, this relatively new and largely unregulated sector has experienced several concerning security breaches that compromise user privacy and intimacy. To address this critical gap between innovation and protection, we propose a novel blockchain-based consent management framework specifically designed for Femtech applications. Our solution leverages distributed ledger technology and smart contracts to create a transparent, immutable system where users can granularly control access to their sensitive health data.
