IdentifyHer Unveils Peri: A Wearable Targeting Perimenopause Symptoms

Introducing Peri: A Revolutionary Wearable for Tracking Perimenopause Symptoms

In the realm of reproductive health tech, most wearable devices have focused primarily on period tracking and fertility windows. However, at CES 2025, a groundbreaking health startup, identifyHer, is introducing Peri - a unique wearable that aims to help users track and manage the symptoms associated with perimenopause.

Understanding Perimenopause

Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading to menopause, during which the ovaries gradually produce fewer hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone. This hormonal decrease can result in various symptoms, including mood swings, irregular periods, hot flashes, and night sweats. Typically lasting between four to eight years, perimenopause symptoms can vary significantly among individuals.

What Does Peri Offer?

According to Peri's press release, the device will deliver:

• Objective data on perimenopausal symptoms
• Insights into lifestyle factors and sleep patterns
• Actionable tips and encouragement tailored to each user

Unlike traditional health trackers that are typically worn on the wrist or as finger rings, Peri boasts a pill-shaped design that adheres to the wearer’s torso, positioned where bodily changes are most pronounced.

Innovative Design and Technology

Heidi Davis, co-founder of identifyHer, shared insights into the development process of Peri. While the specific sensors remain undisclosed until pre-orders begin, Davis hints at the importance of the "digital fingerprints" collected through extensive research over the past three years. These fingerprints help the algorithms track continuous data on symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats.

Surprising Findings from Research

One intriguing discovery made during R&D was that body temperature may not be a reliable indicator of hot flashes. Additionally, the company emphasized the importance of ensuring that the algorithms remain unaffected by external factors such as exercise and warm weather.

Why the Torso?

Davis explained that limb-based trackers were tested early in the development, but results indicated that the torso provided more accurate readings, particularly for symptoms common in perimenopause.

The Future of Women's Health Tracking

As promising as these developments are, it’s essential to note that Peri's technology is not yet clinically proven. The official launch is expected in mid-2025. Nevertheless, the focus on enhancing understanding of women’s reproductive health—an often overlooked subject—is a major step forward. Other companies, like Oura and Apple, have also recognized this need, with significant studies into women’s health ongoing.

Conclusion: A Step Toward Empowering Women's Health

With innovative designs and a clear mission, Peri seeks to pave the way for better management of perimenopause symptoms, ultimately aiding many in understanding their reproductive health better. As the launch date approaches, it will be exciting to see how Peri can contribute positively to the dialogue on women's health.
