Built by women for women
My story may sound familiar to you. Some time ago, I experienced significant health challenges that seemed to come out of nowhere. I went to countless doctors and providers and read everything I could find. Despite my efforts, I couldn’t get a diagnosis or a treatment. The longer this went on, the worse I got and the road back to my former life seemed more impossible each day. It was also frustrating that my health data was increasingly scattered across many providers’ systems, making it harder for me to connect the dots.
So lacking a solution, I created my own. I built a system that made it easier to track and centralize my data that included my lifestyle, cycles, symptoms and conditions to compare them. This helped me to uncover my unique health patterns and trends. I also discovered that my menstrual cycle was a critical missing piece that, when included, helped me identify my triggers and find the right solutions.
This made my conversations with my providers much more productive because we could see the patterns and correlations in the data. I also discovered that additional hormone data - including my sleep and metabolic cycles - was critical to understanding the context of my conditions. I now had more insights and better options in order to find my answers.
But this story wasn't over
What I initially thought was something specific about me, over time I realized was just as relevant to women managing all kinds of conditions. Without a tool to help them collect and analyze information about themselves all in one place, they were missing the trends, patterns, and correlations specific to them. This made it much harder to take effective action. Most women also don’t know how their cycles affect their health. If they did, it would provide significant relief and more options for treatment.
I wanted to share what I learned, so I took my solution and built an even better version for you. I am thrilled to share the launch of Ourself - a women's health tracking and insights mobile app designed to give you back the control you need to take charge of your health.
You now have a tool that will help you to easily collect and integrate a broad set of your health information so you can find the insights you are looking for. A women’s health app like this has to be secure and private which is why we put the key to connect your identifying information to your health tracking data on your phone – so only you can connect and see it.
While this app was born out of my own experience, I made it for you - and for all of us! I hope you will download Ourself to start finding the answers you are seeking. Together let’s start a conversation where we share our health challenges, inspire each other, and radically improve wellness for womankind.
Our Founder,
