With a market size worth $103Bn by 2030, the global femtech sector is largely under-served especially in the domain of menopause care.
This company has built the world’s leading menopause app - in its first 2 years of existence, it has helped hundreds of thousands of women in more than 215 countries. Being the only menopause support app certified by ORCHA, it is trusted by healthcare professionals to be used as part of the treatment pathway.
Founded by a leading GP & Menopause Specialist, their mission is to help improve the health of women globally and make menopause support inclusive and accessible to all. They are guided by strong ethical principles to always put mission before profit. The app enables women to track their symptoms, access personalised expert content, share stories and download their Health Report© to share with their healthcare professional in order to get a fast diagnosis and access to treatment which they are so often denied. The app has also recently developed a premium version, the world’s first health and wellbeing companion dedicated to menopausal women, available to users and also corporate clients.
