Flo Health launches perimenopause tools as survey finds 66% of women felt more prepared for puberty

"Flo Health, the period-tracking app that has grown into the largest women's health platform in the world with 80 million monthly active users, is attempting to close that gap with a new suite of perimenopause tools launching this month for its premium subscribers. The features, a symptom checker, a perimenopause severity score, a menopause timeline tracker, and a medically verified relief-options guide, represent the company's most significant product expansion since it achieved unicorn status in 2024."

"Two-thirds of American women between 38 and 50 say they felt better prepared to go through puberty than perimenopause. The statistic, from a nationally representative survey commissioned by Flo Health and conducted by Wakefield Research, captures something that decades of public health messaging have failed to fix: most women arrive at one of the most disruptive hormonal transitions of their lives with less reliable information than they had as teenagers."

"The scale of the problem Flo is targeting is not in dispute. More than a billion women globally will experience perimenopause or menopause, yet a recent Flo study found that one in three American women aged 35 and over still do not know whether they are in perimenopause. It is part of a persistent gender gap in health data that femtech companies have been working to close."

"Flo Health, the world's largest women's health app with 80 million monthly active users, is launching a new suite of perimenopause tools for premium subscribers in May 2026. A Wakefield Research survey found 66% of US women aged 38-50 felt better prepared for puberty than perimenopause. The tools include a Symptom Checker, Perimenopause Score, Menopause Timeline, and Relief Options. Flo's research with Mayo Clinic and a Nature-published study underpin the clinical approach."

Flo research with Mayo Clinic and a Nature-published study supports the clinical approach. The company targets a knowledge gap where many women do not know whether they are in perimenopause, despite the large global prevalence of perimenopause and menopause.
