description Gender health remains an unfinished issue worldwide. As the critical intersection of females’ health and technologies, Femtech emerged beyond a niche market and disrupting conventional healthcare practices for women. Given the various interest and research outputs continue to mushroom on females’ health, a retrospective view on this dynamic field is essential. This research aims to examine Femtech global research landscape using bibliometric analysis technique. Following PRISMA flow diagram, Femtech publications published between 2013 and 2023 in Scopus database were systematically analyzed. A total of 183 publications covering 21 subject areas, in 6 languages from 44 countries were identified for this purpose. The outcomes indicate these publications were predominantly in the field of medicine rather than information technology and a majority were monopolized by authors, journals and sponsors from developed nations. Initial keywords review found to accentuate “mhealth”; “pregnancy”; “mobile applications”; “women’s health”, however, “telehealth”; “wearables”; “privacy”; “reproductive health”; “menopause” had also drawn high interest. The research contributes methodically by applying bibliographic analysis to understand Femtech research trends and assess citations as measure impact on Femtech research ecosystem. This research provides a blueprint empowering researchers, practitioners, investors, Femtech industry players and stakeholders to collaborate in Femtech research to enhance adoption of Femtech globally.
