In this episode, Bethany Corbin and Jessica Platt discuss:
- What it means to design for inclusivity
- What role regulation and innovation play in FemTech
- Why companies need to be intentional in data privacy
- Whether regulations should be decreased in favor of emerging industries
Key Takeaways:
- Designing for inclusivity is all about moving beyond the male standard approach and designing something that improves the user experience for everyone.
- Regulation is helpful in providing structure for innovation. It helps keep everybody working in the same direction, always keeping in mind the health and safety of the users.
- Women in America now have to look at their apps and see whether they are protected or vulnerable. To ease the burden of having to wonder about those things, companies today need to have an intentional approach to data privacy to help users feel much more comfortable with using the products going forward.
- The heart of regulation is always the safety of the users. Sex toys having a shared baseline with medical devices might seem overkill or unrelated, but it ensures that people are fundamentally protected and that their health and safety will not be compromised.
“Inclusive design is great design. The more inclusive you can make something, the more you can ensure that it meets their needs, the better the product will be for everyone.” - Jessica Platt
