Summary
Flo Health, the world’s largest women’s health app with 80 million monthly active users, is introducing a new suite of perimenopause tools for premium subscribers in May 2026. A Wakefield Research survey revealed that 66% of US women aged 38-50 felt better prepared for puberty than perimenopause. The tools include:
- Symptom Checker
- Perimenopause Score
- Menopause Timeline
- Relief Options
Flo’s research with Mayo Clinic and a Nature-published study underpin the clinical approach. The company became Europe’s first femtech unicorn in 2024 after securing $200M in Series C funding from General Atlantic.
Key Findings
- Two-thirds of American women between 38 and 50 stated they felt better prepared to go through puberty than perimenopause, according to a survey by Wakefield Research commissioned by Flo Health.
- Despite the widespread nature of perimenopause (over a billion global sufferers), one in three American women aged 35 and over still do not know whether they are experiencing it, as revealed by a Flo study.
- Perimenopause often lacks reliable information due to misinformation spread on social media and wellness platforms.
Closing the Knowledge Gap
Flo Health aims to address this gap with its new perimenopause tools, marking their most significant product expansion since achieving unicorn status. The suite is designed to help women navigate perimenopause with better understanding and more reliable resources.
