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.
