Oura, Clue, Peloton Boost Women's Health: New Tools, Study, Funding
Oura and Clue have made significant strides in women's health. Oura has introduced a Perimenopause Check-In tool, while Clue has appointed Dr. Charis Chambers as its new chief medical officer to tackle health misinformation. Meanwhile, Peloton and Respin Health have partnered to study targeted exercise for menopause symptoms.
Oura's new tool uses the Menopause Rating Scale to quantify symptoms and quality of life during perimenopause. This comes as nearly 40% of women surveyed had not considered perimenopause as the cause of their symptoms. The Women's Health Initiative in the early 2000s led to a decrease in hormone replacement therapy prescriptions worldwide, highlighting the need for better understanding and support.
Clue, a period tracking app, has appointed Dr. Chambers to combat health misinformation. She will work to ensure accurate and reliable information reaches users. In related news, Peloton has partnered with Respin Health to launch a study on how targeted exercise can improve menopause-related symptoms.
In funding news, Midi Health raised $50 million in Series C funding to expand its telehealth platform nationwide. Coral, a women's digital health startup, also raised $4.1 million CAD in seed funding to expand its virtual care platform for perimenopause and menopause. Jazzercise has introduced Vital Sculpt HIIT, a program designed to preserve muscle and support bone health for perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.
A report from NNABI found that most U.S. women experience an average of seven perimenopause-related symptoms, but only 10% have received a formal diagnosis. Nutrafol has launched 'The Menopause Edit', a print and digital magazine to normalize menopause conversations and provide accurate information.
These initiatives aim to improve understanding, diagnosis, and support for women experiencing perimenopause and menopause. From new tools and programs to increased funding and awareness campaigns, these developments signal a growing commitment to women's health.
