Future Outlook

The Company intends to focus on sales of the Sensera device and work to further pursue business opportunities in the world of FemTech and intends to focus in the coming years on the development of additional products for the female wellness world, both at the level of technology and at the level of materials, some of which we expect will be CBD-based.

  • Comparable companies in the FemTech space include companies like Elvie, Bloomlife, and Nurx, which focus on women's health and wellness through technology.
