Menopause Awareness Gains Momentum with Tech and Workplace Support

As menopause becomes a more open topic, technology and workplace initiatives are evolving to support women through this life phase.

  • Fitness trackers and wearables are increasingly used to monitor menopause symptoms like sleep, body temperature, and heart rate, providing valuable data for healthcare discussions.
  • Companies are expanding health benefits to include menopause-related care, driven by demand from GenX and millennial employees seeking support in the workplace.
  • Menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and mood changes can significantly impact work life, with missed workdays costing the US economy an estimated $1.8 billion annually.
  • Telehealth services and online support groups are becoming vital resources, offering women access to specialists and community support to manage menopause symptoms effectively.
  • Despite growing awareness, there is still a need for better education and safe treatment options for menopause, as many women resort to unregulated online products with potential health risks.
