Our sixth CES 2025 Highlights show, we focused on Femtech in honor of International Women's Day.

Sam introduced Embr Wave, a stylish wristband wearable providing both heating and cooling to manage hot flashes and stress with 200,000 customers reached. The Embr Wave retails for $299 or via a $20/month rental option. AI to predict hot flashes is in development.

Laura described the Perry app, a platform supporting 60,000 women through perimenopause, with plans to educate healthcare providers.

Lena introduced Eli Health's Hormometer currently in beta launching next few months. They will have a subscription service starting at $64/month for saliva-based hormone testing, focusing on cortisol and progesterone, with future plans to include estradiol and testosterone. No blood test, instant lab grade hormone insights from a mobile phone. All three offerings aim to improve women's health across various life stages.
