The Flo App has launched “Flo for Perimenopause” to address a global health knowledge gap affecting more than a billion women worldwide. Flo Health’s new feature responds to research showing that over half of women feel inadequately informed about perimenopause, providing comprehensive digital support for this universal life transition.
Flo Health’s recent survey revealed that 54% of women don’t feel adequately informed about perimenopause and its potential symptoms and effects on their health. This knowledge gap affects women across all continents and cultures, often leaving them feeling confused and unprepared for the physical and emotional changes associated with perimenopause.
The scale of the challenge is significant, with more than a billion women worldwide expected to have experienced perimenopause and menopause by 2025. Flo Health’s platform, which serves 76 million monthly active users, is uniquely positioned to provide global access to perimenopause education and support through the Flo App.
“Perimenopause isn’t a mystery—it’s a natural life stage that deserves nuanced understanding, support, and open conversation,” said Dr. Sameena Rahman, a board-certified OB/GYN, sex-med gynecologist, and menopause specialist working with Flo Health. Her perspective reflects the medical community’s recognition that better perimenopause support can significantly improve women’s health outcomes.
The Flo App’s perimenopause feature offers expert-verified content and symptom tracking, along with personalized health insights developed in collaboration with Flo Health’s team of over 100 medical experts. This comprehensive approach ensures that women receive accurate, evidence-based information, regardless of their geographic location or access to healthcare systems.
Flo Health’s global approach to perimenopause support includes the development of the Perimenopause Score, the first digital assessment tool specifically designed and scientifically validated for perimenopause symptoms. This innovation makes standardized perimenopause assessment accessible to women worldwide through the Flo App.
The platform’s research initiatives contribute to global understanding of perimenopause patterns and experiences. A study published by Flo Health’s Science team in the Nature portfolio journal npj Women’s Health revealed that symptoms considered typical for perimenopause can occur earlier than previously thought, challenging existing medical timelines.
The Flo App’s community features, including Secret Chats, create opportunities for cross-cultural learning and support among women navigating perimenopause. These anonymous discussions enable women from diverse backgrounds to share their experiences and coping strategies, thereby creating a global knowledge base that enriches everyone’s understanding.
The impact of inadequate perimenopause support extends beyond individual health to encompass economic and social implications. Flo Health’s research indicates that 72% of perimenopausal women report that their symptoms are limiting their life experiences, particularly affecting self-esteem, relationships, and professional performance.
Flo Health’s commitment to global accessibility ensures that the “Flo for Perimenopause” feature is available to all users regardless of their economic circumstances. As the #1 women’s health app worldwide, chosen by over 420 million people, the platform democratizes access to high-quality information and support for perimenopause.
The launch of “Flo for Perimenopause” on July 21, 2025, marks a significant step forward in addressing the global knowledge gap surrounding perimenopause. Through the Flo App, women worldwide can access comprehensive, scientifically-backed perimenopause support that helps them navigate this universal life transition with confidence and understanding.
