Building Samphire Neuroscience And All The Challenges That Come With Building In Women's Health

Emilė Radytė, PhD studied neuroscience at Oxford and Harvard before starting Samphire Neuroscience which is building wearable neurotechnology medical device solutions for women's health and lifestyle needs.

Samphire Neuroscience mission is to transform women's health through brain based innovation. Our vision is simple: to create a world where women have access to medical grade solutions that empower them to take control of their health—without compromising on technology, design, or lifestyle.

Building on over 30 years of research and clinical expertise, we’ve developed Nettle, the world's first brain stimulating headband for the at-home alleviation of PMS and period pain symptoms.

Samphire Neuroscience also offers neuroscience-backed cycle tracking via the Samphire app, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play.

We discuss:

The brain link to women's health conditions such as endometriosis

The first hypothesis of starting Samphire Neuroscience and how that led to the first prototype

The challenges that come with building in women's health, especially in consumer hardware

The importance of building community, brand personal brand and trust in 2026 when it comes to women's health data and education
