The Health and Her Menopause app opens with a series of questions to be completed by the user about things like supplements or HRT they are taking, details about their menstrual cycle, contraception, procedures and medical conditions.

The app enables users to track symptoms, triggers and cycles.
Based on their symptoms, users can create a daily plan to set goals and an activity schedule with daily reminders to complete the activities.
Users can use daily exercises to improve their symptoms and wellbeing.
The app has a 'Learn' section which gives more information about different aspects of menopause, eg, menopause and cardiovascular disease, tips for a healthy gut, etc. This section also has a selection of supplements for sale, under the banner 'Tried and tested by other women'.

Clinical review

Reviewer: Dr Phoebe Hunt, Medical Officer working in Sexual and Reproductive Health, Magma Healthcare
Date of review: September 2023
Version: 1.6.6
Platform: Apple
Comments: Good app overall for learning about menopause, tracking symptoms and trialling activities to manage various menopausal symptoms. App requires a high level of motivation for users to benefit from it, in terms of sticking to the ‘activity schedule’ and logging symptoms and triggers.
Safety concerns: App has its own supplement brand. I am always cautious of apps that are promoting their own products. It is unlikely these are evidence-based and there is an associated cost.
New Zealand relevance: Yes but the app is largely based on the UK health system, thus some information regarding the providers and medications may not apply to the NZ context.
