Wingwomen Inc. Announces FDA Exemption for Four Devices from Groundbreaking Vaginal Speculum Patent Attempt

Published

on

San Francisco, California, United States, 17th Apr 2025 – Wingwomen Inc., the women’s reproductive health start-up founded by doula, and student-midwife Adonica Shaw, proudly announces that four of the eight devices from its original 2023 vaginal speculum patent attempt have been officially exempted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This critical milestone clears the path for these innovative devices to enter multiple markets in 2025.

Founded in 2021, Wingwomen Inc. was launched with the mission to radically reimagine women’s reproductive care. In 2023, Shaw submitted her first patent application, aiming to redesign the vaginal speculum—a tool that has seen little innovation since its invention in the 1800s. After initial pushback from consultants and advisors who deemed the designs unviable under FDA regulations, Shaw took a bold step in 2024 by open-sourcing feedback on her work.

“After our failed attempt to open a clinic in Boston and being told repeatedly that our designs wouldn’t meet FDA standards, we began winding down the company,” said Shaw. “But after creating a digital version of the speculum and winning the FemTech of the Year award from MedTech World in Dubai this February, my mentors encouraged me to go directly to the FDA—without consultants—and do my own diligence.”

Following her submission, the FDA reviewed the original 2023 designs and determined that four of the eight devices qualified for exemption. With support from a private firm, Wingwomen is now preparing for global market entry of these devices.

Each speculum was thoughtfully designed to address a range of patient factors—such as age, BMI, reproductive history, race, and anatomy—offering a more inclusive, comfortable alternative to traditional designs.

Historically, the vaginal speculum has a fraught legacy. It is still widely used today during IVF embryo transfers and cervical cancer screenings, yet its origins trace back to male physicians like James Marion Sims, whose experimentation on enslaved Black women casts a long shadow over the field of gynecology. Shaw’s work aims to both redesign the device and reframe the experience of its use.

“We have the science, the data, and the ethical guardrails to do better by women,” Shaw added. “These designs are the result of lived experience—as both a patient and a care provider. This is a human-centered reimagining of what should have always been a more compassionate and dignified experience.”

Homebuyers Hit by NFIP Shutdown — Private Flood Insurance Still Available Online

Published

on

Salt Lake City, Utah — Thousands of homebuyers are finding themselves in limbo as the ongoing federal government shutdown halts new flood insurance policies from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). With hurricane season still active across much of the country, many buyers in flood-prone regions are now scrambling to secure coverage before closing on their homes.

The federal government officially shut down on October 1, 2025, after Congress failed to pass a funding bill — suspending operations at multiple agencies, including FEMA and NOAA, and pausing the issuance and renewal of NFIP flood policies. The timing has created a ripple effect in coastal and flood-zone markets across the U.S., where lenders often require active flood coverage before approving mortgages.

During the lapse, companies like FloodPrice.com — which normally allow homeowners to compare NFIP and private flood insurance options side by side — can only provide quotes from private flood insurers. These private carriers continue to issue new and renewal policies while FEMA’s NFIP program remains offline.

“Homebuyers who expected to rely on the NFIP may now find their financing or closings delayed unless they turn to private flood options,” said Brian, spokesperson for FloodPrice.com. “We’re seeing increased demand in many states, where thousands of NFIP-backed policies exist, and private policies are becoming the only viable option during this lapse.”

According to FEMA, more than 4.7 million Americans depend on the NFIP for flood protection — and roughly 1.8 million of those policyholders are in Florida alone. While existing NFIP policies remain active, the shutdown means no new policies or renewals can be processed until Congress restores funding. NOAA, which supports flood forecasting and mapping, has also limited operations, creating further uncertainty for risk assessments and new development approvals in flood zones.

A Temporary Pause, but Real-World Consequences

Industry experts warn that even a short NFIP lapse can have major effects on real estate transactions and local economies. During previous shutdowns, the National Association of Realtors estimated that up to 40,000 home sales per month could be delayed or canceled due to flood insurance lapses.

For now, private flood insurers remain fully operational, providing a much-needed safety net. FloodPrice.com continues to help homeowners explore private flood insurance options online — offering coverage from top-rated carriers and shopping for the lowest available prices among its network of insurers.

Even as Washington works toward a funding resolution, flood risk doesn’t pause. Homebuyers in affected areas should act quickly to ensure they have coverage in place before closing.

A New Era in the Crypto Market ETH Volume Bot Redefines Success for Token Projects

Published

on

The Ethereum ecosystem continues to evolve rapidly, with new token projects emerging every day. For many developers, maintaining transparent, consistent, and data-driven liquidity management on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) remains one of the biggest challenges. ETH Volume Bot, a blockchain automation platform, aims to support these needs by offering analytical and operational tools that help projects monitor, manage, and automate their on-chain trading activity in a secure and compliant way.

A Technology-Driven Approach to On-Chain Activity

ethvolumebot.com provides automated infrastructure to assist token teams in managing liquidity, transaction execution, and on-chain analytics on Ethereum-based DEXs. The platform leverages automation to improve transaction efficiency and to help projects better understand their market presence through advanced data insights.

Since its introduction, the system has been utilized by numerous Ethereum-based initiatives to streamline operational processes and optimize smart contract interactions within transparent and regulated frameworks.

Introducing the Batch Transaction Queue (BTQ)

One of ETH Volume Bot’s key innovations is the Batch Transaction Queue (BTQ) — a mechanism designed to optimize transaction efficiency and reduce gas expenditure on the Ethereum network.
BTQ enables multiple small transactions to be processed in a bundled and gas-efficient manner, helping project teams lower operational costs while maintaining transaction transparency and traceability on-chain.

This technology contributes to a more efficient use of network resources, minimizing redundant transactions and improving on-chain data consistency. By reducing gas costs, BTQ enhances accessibility for smaller or early-stage blockchain projects.

Advanced Controls and Analytics

The platform’s automation framework allows project teams to define operational parameters with precision, while the real-time analytics dashboard provides comprehensive visibility into performance metrics.
Teams can track liquidity distribution, trading patterns, and historical data, enabling informed, evidence-based decision-making.

The system integrates seamlessly with leading decentralized exchanges such as Uniswap, SushiSwap, and 1inch, ensuring compatibility with Ethereum-standard liquidity environments.

Security and Non-Custodial Design

Security and control remain top priorities. ETH Volume Bot follows a 100% non-custodial architecture, meaning users maintain full ownership and access to their assets at all times.
All operations are executed directly through Web3 wallets such as MetaMask or WalletConnect, ensuring that no funds are ever transferred to third-party custody.

The platform’s smart contracts have undergone independent security audits, validating their reliability and operational safety.

Transparency and Compliance

ETH Volume Bot emphasizes transparency, auditability, and compliance as fundamental principles of its design.
All on-chain activities are publicly verifiable, and the system operates strictly as a technological and analytical tool — not a financial advisory or promotional mechanism. Its purpose is to empower blockchain projects to manage their operations responsibly and within ethical standards.

About ETH Volume Bot

ETH Volume Bot is a blockchain automation and analytics platform that helps token projects manage transaction efficiency, liquidity operations, and smart contract activity across decentralized exchanges.
The system’s modular infrastructure is built for transparency, security, and operational scalability within the Ethereum ecosystem.
