How PeriPause Works
A clear, calm way to understand your body — and be taken seriously
Perimenopause is not random. It just feels that way when symptoms are inconsistent, hard to remember, and difficult to explain.
PeriPause is designed to turn everyday experiences into clear, structured insight — so you can understand what is happening in your body, prepare for healthcare conversations, and feel confident advocating for yourself.
PeriPause does not diagnose or replace medical care. It helps you observe, organize, and understand patterns in your symptoms so you and your healthcare provider can make better decisions together.
The PeriPause Methodology (At a Glance)
PeriPause works through five connected layers:
This combination is what turns confusion into clarity.
Build a Baseline (Onboarding)
When you first start, PeriPause collects a small amount of background information to establish context:
- Age and general health basics
- Date of last period and typical cycle length
- Current symptoms and their severity
- Treatments you may already be using (optional)
This is not used to diagnose — it serves as a baseline and helps the app understand what to track, how to interpret trends, and what patterns may be relevant for you.
Daily Check-Ins (The Foundation)
The heart of PeriPause is the daily check-in, which takes about 60-90 seconds.
Each day, you rate:
- Mood
- Energy
- Sleep quality
- Anxiety level
- Stress level
You can also log sleep hours and optional notes for context.
Why this matters
Human memory is unreliable — especially under stress, fatigue, or brain fog. PeriPause creates an objective record of how you are actually feeling over time, so patterns do not get lost or minimized.
Daily & Weekly Check-Ins (The Core Data)
PeriPause is built around daily and weekly check-ins, not constant manual symptom entry.
Instead of asking you to log everything all the time, the app focuses on capturing how you are actually functioning day to day.
Daily Check-Ins
Each day, you rate:
- Mood
- Energy
- Sleep quality
- Anxiety level
- Stress level
You can also add sleep hours and optional notes for context.
Weekly Check-Ins
Once a week, you are prompted to reflect on the bigger picture:
- What felt hardest this week?
- What improved?
- Any new or worsening symptoms?
- Anything you want your doctor to know?
These reflections give important context to the numbers and help the AI understand your lived experience — not just scores.
AI Pattern Detection (Turning Data Into Insight)
Once enough data is collected (typically after 7-10 days), PeriPause AI analyzes your information to identify patterns such as:
- Symptom trends over time
- Trigger correlations (e.g. caffeine, alcohol, stress)
- Cycle-related symptom changes
- Lifestyle factors affecting mood, energy, or sleep
Each detected pattern includes:
- A clear explanation
- A confidence level
- The number of data points supporting it
- Practical, non-medical suggestions
The goal is understanding, not diagnosis.
The Menopause Readiness Score
The Menopause Readiness Score (0-100) shows how prepared your data is for productive healthcare conversations.
It reflects three factors:
- Data completeness – how consistently you are tracking
- Symptom stability – how clear your baseline is
- Lifestyle context – mood, sleep, stress, and energy trends
A higher score means:
- Your symptoms are documented clearly
- Patterns are easier to identify
- Your data is more useful for clinical discussions
This helps answer a common question:
Do I have enough information to talk to my doctor yet?
Peri AI — Your Personal Companion
Peri AI is a conversational AI designed specifically for perimenopause.
Unlike generic chatbots, Peri AI:
- Has access to your check-in data
- Understands perimenopause-specific patterns
- Responds based on your real experience
- Never dismisses or minimizes symptoms
You can ask questions, explore patterns, prepare for appointments, or simply get reassurance — any time.
And yes, that includes 3 a.m., when you are awake, staring at the ceiling, wondering why your mind is racing or your body feels off. Peri AI is there in those moments — to help you make sense of what is happening, calmly and personally.
Doctor-Ready Insight Reports (Taking Control of Your Care)
One of PeriPause most powerful features is the downloadable Doctor Report.
These reports summarize your tracked data in a clear, structured format that healthcare providers can quickly understand — and that puts you in control of the conversation.
They include:
- An executive summary of your tracking period
- Your readiness score and breakdown
- AI-detected patterns with confidence levels
- Symptom frequency and severity summaries
- Lifestyle and sleep trends
- Period history and cycle changes
- Raw data tables for clinical reference
Instead of trying to remember how you have felt, you arrive prepared with evidence.
This shifts appointments from vague explanations to focused, data-informed decisions — where you are an active participant, not a passive patient.
What PeriPause Is — and Is Not
PeriPause is:
- • A tracking and insight tool
- • A pattern-recognition system
- • A preparation tool for medical visits
- • A supportive companion during perimenopause
PeriPause is not:
- • A diagnostic tool
- • A replacement for medical care
- • A treatment provider
Your healthcare provider remains central to all medical decisions.
Why This Approach Works
Perimenopause is often confusing — not because symptoms are not real, but because they are hard to track, explain, and prove.
PeriPause works because it helps you take control:
- Control over your data
- Control over your narrative
- Control over how you show up in healthcare settings
By turning day-to-day experiences into organized patterns, you move from uncertainty to clarity — and from dismissal to informed action.
