Berlin-based FemTech Dr. Vivien Karl, founded by pharmacist Vivien Karl and Julia Huhnholz, is one of the success stories. The company, which offers a cream for moisture care against vaginal dryness, has recently secured an investment of 1.5 million euros.

Advanced diagnostic technologies are another key trend, as demonstrated by LipoCheck, a Leipzig-based health startup that develops digital health solutions for women with lipoedema. The company has recently received an investment of 2.5 million euros.
Coordination of care is also a growing focus, with initiatives like Herself Health’s Women Growing Bolder Health Alliance aiming to improve healthcare coordination for older women.
Beyond medical diagnostics, other companies in women’s sexual wellness and mental health are emerging within FemTech, reflecting a holistic approach to women’s health needs.
