The Flo App has introduced a groundbreaking digital health innovation with the launch of the Perimenopause Score, marking the first scientifically validated assessment tool specifically designed for perimenopause symptoms. This development from Flo Health represents a significant advancement in digital women’s health technology.
Flo Health’s science and medical teams developed the Perimenopause Score to address the lack of standardized assessment tools for perimenopause symptoms. The scoring system evaluates users based on their individual symptom experiences, helping them understand the real-life impact of their condition and providing personalized insights that can inform healthcare decisions.
The Flo App serves 76 million monthly active users and is recognized as the #1 OB-GYN-recommended app for period and cycle tracking. With the addition of the Perimenopause Score, the platform extends its evidence-based approach to support women through perimenopause. This life stage affects virtually all women but remains underserved by traditional healthcare approaches.
Dr. Sameena Rahman, a board-certified OB/GYN, sex-med gynecologist, and menopause specialist working with Flo Health, emphasized the transformative potential of the tool. “A tool like Flo for Perimenopause could be truly transformative for the many women I see who arrive confused, overwhelmed, and unaware of what their bodies are going through—simply because no one ever taught them what to expect,” she said.
The development of the Perimenopause Score reflects Flo Health’s broader commitment to research-driven innovation. The company’s recent study, published in the Nature portfolio journal npj Women’s Health, demonstrated that symptoms typically associated with perimenopause can occur earlier than previously understood, informing the development of more accurate assessment tools.
Flo Health’s approach to the Perimenopause Score involves collaboration with over 100 medical experts who contributed to the development and validation of the tool. This extensive medical backing ensures that the assessment yields clinically meaningful results, supporting both personal understanding and effective communication with healthcare providers.
The Flo App’s Perimenopause Score is integrated into the broader “Flo for Perimenopause” feature set, which includes adapted cycle tracking, symptom monitoring, educational resources, and community support. This comprehensive approach recognizes that perimenopause requires multifaceted support rather than isolated interventions.
Users of the Flo App can access the Perimenopause Score as part of personalized health insights designed to help them better understand their symptoms and feel more prepared for the changes ahead. The scoring system provides objective data that women can use to track their progression through perimenopause and communicate more effectively with healthcare providers.
Flo Health’s innovative approach to perimenopause assessment addresses survey findings showing that 54% of women don’t feel adequately informed about perimenopause. With 72% of perimenopausal women reporting that their symptoms are limiting their life experiences, tools like the Perimenopause Score can play a crucial role in improving understanding and management of this life stage.
The Perimenopause Score became available to all Flo App users starting July 21, 2025, marking a significant milestone in digital health innovation for women’s health. The tool represents Flo Health’s continued leadership in creating evidence-based digital health solutions for women at every stage of their health journey.
