summary
Clue reports 12 million monthly users and a dataset of 240 million periods tracked totalling 10 billion data points, and uses that scale to build a digital contraceptive that runs on a smartphone and claims clinical effectiveness and wide geographic reach. The talk shows how large-scale, privacy-protected tracking enables population-wide patterns, personalized timing and fertility education, remote distribution of contraceptive tools, and reframes menopause biology (arguing “menopause not ovarian failure”) as a target for tech-enabled diagnosis, support and lower-cost intervention.
