Objective
Fertility data can be misused to increase women’s inequalities, affect their reproductive autonomy, and violate their rights. THELMA will explore such impacts on women’s rights due to algorithm surveillance in reproductive health by Femtechs, the tech industry focused on women’s health and well-being, which can provide statistical analyses enough to control fertility on a mass level. Several concerns about this industry have been reported in scientific studies: gender biases; enforcement of gender binary stereotypes; sharing users’ data with third parties without consent; data collection for profit and advertising; unwanted pregnancies, etc. However, the invisible power relations that drive the use of fertility data with multi-level effects on women’s rights due to their - social, economic, and political – body value in producing human capital have not been explored until now. THELMA will provide critical analyses about this industry producing data-driven analysis and insights that will contribute to developing an EU regulatory framework for Femtechs based on interdisciplinary, intersectional, and gender-sensitive approaches. Combining social science methods with legal analyses, THELMA will be carried out in the Gender and ICT Research Group (GenTIC) from the Internet Interdisciplinary Institute (IN3) at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) – Spain focused on gender studies in the digital age. The research findings will contribute to enriching the current state-of-art on fertility data and digital surveillance in the EU with end-user experiences as focal points. Success in my multi-dimensional training with my Host will position me as an intranational expert combining quantitative research and legal theoretical expertise that will contribute to innovative EU research on fertility data.
