Entrepreneur in Residence (Cofounder) Women's Health

About the Project

Perimenopause and menopause mark significant transitions in a woman's life, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. With a substantial portion of women spending over a third of their lives in these stages, it's estimated that by 2030, 1.2 billion women globally will be navigating this phase.

During perimenopause and menopause, between 75% to 85% of women experience a range of physical and emotional symptoms. These may include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, sleep disturbances, fatigue, changes in libido, and more. Around 20-30% of women encounter severe symptoms, impacting their daily lives and well-being.

The challenges women face during menopause are multifaceted:

1. Limited education and awareness often lead to delayed or inadequate symptom management, affecting overall quality of life.
2. Stigma and taboo surrounding menopause contribute to feelings of embarrassment, isolation, and mental health issues.
3. Controversies surrounding suitable treatments, including the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy, create confusion and uncertainty for women seeking relief.

At KRING, we're committed to supporting women's health by addressing the diverse symptoms and challenges of menopause with evidence-based, compassionate solutions.
