A digtal devise to extend healthy life expectancy for women going through meno-pause
How does it work?
A digital therapeutic app designed to offer evidence-based interventions for menopause symptoms. The company's therapeutics help women manage symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety, depression, hot flushes, weight gain and incontinence and also delay the onset of chronic conditions like osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease and even dementia through personalized care and tailored treatments, enabling women to cope with the complexities of menopause.
Why is it needed?
Nearly 1 billion people worldwide are coping with menopause. Over 80% say that symptoms interfere with their daily life and nearly half say it has made work difficult or even untenable. The issues that affect women in later life, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and dementia can be triggered at menopause. Improving the care and treatment for a woman in her 50s and 60s can fundamentally help to tackle these issues early-on.
How does it improve life?
The solution supports women through menopause. Stella combines evidence-based treatments, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, pelvic floor exercises, and diet and lifestyle changes into a tailored treatment plan. Whether it’s a better night’s sleep, overcoming anxious feelings or dealing with bladder issues – Stella will help women make a real difference to quality of life now and in the future.
