When AI health apps niche down (like GetWella targeting women 40+), is the personalization worth sharing intimate health data?

Genuinely curious — does specialized focus change how comfortable you'd be with data collection? My instinct is mixed: better outcomes appeal, but health data feels different.

Where do you draw the line, if anywhere?

Scientists Produce First 3D Map of Clitoral Nerve Pathways

The Guardian reports that scientists have finally mapped the nerves inside the clitoris. This comes almost 30 years after they did the same thing for the penis. This is beneficial and not only for orgasms – understanding this organ could help prevent poorer sexual function after pelvic operations. It could also help with reconstructive surgery after female genital mutilation – "one of the most extreme examples of cultural misogyny". The Guardian writes that a cultural taboo around female sexuality has held back scientific investigations. The clitoris only entered standard medicine textbooks in the 20th century.

"As well as revealing the extent of the [clitoral] nerves that are crucial to orgasms, the work shows that some of what medics are learning about the anatomy of the clitoris is wrong, and could help prevent women who have pelvic operations from ending up with poorer sexual function."
