Resumo: The gynecological area related to vaginal infections is not very explored from the practical point of view of the patient. The range of options of self-testing kits is limited and little publicized, so women tend to go to the doctor whenever they feel any discomfort, or they simply buy medicine without a prescription. Therefore, a market opportunity arises to fill the lack of public information about this often neglected area of their personal health, without having to consult a doctor. This thesis explores the Femtech and Medtech market in Portugal and Europe. The business plan is about the launching of an innovative medical device to self-test vaginal infections and which connects to a mobile app to create records and analyticaly analyse the test results. This product’s aim is therefore to promote women’s well-being and health, allying with technology to inform them and subsequently help them to make decisions regarding their gynecological health.

O leque de opções de testes de auto-diagnóstico é limitado e pouco divulgado, o que leva a que as mulheres tenham o hábito de consultar o médico quando sentem algum desconforto ou comprar um medicamento sem receita médica. Assim, surge uma oportunidade no mercado de colmatar a falta de informação do público sobre esta área da sua saúde pessoal, muitas vezes negligenciada, sem ter de recorrer a uma consulta médica. Esta tese explora os mercados das Femtech e Medtech, em Portugal e no resto da Europa. O plano de negócios desenvolvido diz respeito ao lançamento de um dispositivo médico inovador para auto-diagnosticar infeções vaginais. Este tem conexão com uma app móvel, de forma a criar um histórico e analisar analiticamente os resultados dos testes. O objetivo deste produto é, assim, promover o bem-estar e a saúde da mulher, aliando-se à tecnologia para a informar e, consequentemente, a ajudar a tomar decisões no que diz respeito à sua saúde ginecológica.2020-12-19T00:00:00Z2019-12-20T00:00:00Z2019-12-202019-10info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/19533TID:202358330engMorais, Catarina Marnotoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:59:47Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/19533Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:31:28.697787Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
