Redesigning Menopause: Harnessing AI and Service Design for Better Menopause Care

Every year, approximately 25 million women globally will undergo the menopausal transition. In previous generations women quietly suffered or were even institutionalised during ‘the change’. Today, thanks to many determined and high profile Gen-X and Xennial women, menopause is no longer a sitcom punchline about erratic old broads having a hot flash. Doctors, trainers, authors, psychologists, actresses and many women with a platform are advocating for better by sharing their own experiences, vocalising how inadequate the healthcare system and workplaces are for menopausal women while actively building new guidance for younger generations.

I wrote this article about my own experience and the significant potential for human-centred AI in menopause care.
