#4 Important information about THELMA

 

#1 What is THELMA?

THELMA is the acronym of the research project "Reproductive Health Under Algorithm Surveillance", financed by the European Union under HORIZON-MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships. Dr. Luana Mathias Souto is the Principal Investigator, and the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya - Spain/GenTIC is the host institution.

#2 Research Objectives

THELMA’s focus is Femtech end-user experiences, and based on this, we aim to map this industry and its applications, develop an impact pathways model, and outline a regulatory/legal framework for user empowerment and social change.

#3 Social Impact

Through partnerships, we will develop open-access educational material to inform women/people with a female reproductive system who desire to have or not have children, users or not of devices created by Femtechs, and who want to support their partners in their reproductive lives about the risks of sharing fertility data.

#4 Dissemination/Communication

Here, we will inform about THELMA’s scientific achievements, call for survey, interview, and workshop participation, and share the research results in non-scientific language to inform the general public. 

Stay tuned!
