identifyHer Ltd is a femtech company focussed on detecting and tracking menopausal symptoms.
The identifyHer platform is a wearable biosensor to detect and track menopausal symptoms with an accompanying application to present data. The device can be used by women to understand the symptoms they experience and for clinicians, it provides objective symptom data that can be used as a decision support tool in the diagnosis of perimenopause. The wearable device has a combination of sensors that measure physiological changes in conjunction with a data analytics platform to transform the vital sign data into the frequency and severity of vasomotor (hot flushes, night sweats) and behavioural (anxiety, sleep disturbance) perimenopausal symptoms. IdentifyHer is preparing for market launch in the 3rd quarter of 2024.
