Frederike Kugland is the founder and CEO of femote, a Berlin-based HealthTech company building the next generation of gynaecological care. Combining her background in digital and data strategy with her own experience as a patient, she focuses on closing the gender research gap and redesigning how intimate health conditions are diagnosed and treated.

Her work centres on bringing evidence-based, accessible, and stigma-free care into the mainstream — from rapid diagnostics to digital treatment pathways and collaborative research. Frederike is known for her clear and data-driven perspective on women’s health, her critique of structural inequalities in healthcare, and her advocacy for integrating innovation into Germany’s existing healthcare system rather than building parallel structures.

She regularly writes and speaks about topics such as the gender data gap, the economics of FemTech, biases in healthcare innovation, and why women’s health is a societal issue — not a niche. Her mission: to make women’s health research, care, and technology as visible, funded, and valued as the rest of medicine.
