ABOUT
MENOPAUSE ISN’T A MOMENT. IT’S A TRANSITION.
It often starts earlier than you expect – at a time when you’re already stretched: work, family, ageing parents, relationships, responsibility.
Changes begin quietly. Sleep shifts. Moods vary and anxiety increases. Periods change. Energy dips.
And because it’s gradual, it’s hard to spot what’s happening — or when it started.
Perimenopause, menopause, post-menopause — the labels come later.
What most women experience first are unpredictable days. Then, if you start HRT, there’s another layer. Finding the right dose takes time. What works now may not work in a few months.
Through all of this, life doesn’t slow down.
And remembering what’s been happening — or explaining it clearly when it matters — is harder than it should be.
WHAT TALIA DOES
TALIA helps you make sense of change, over time.
It gives you a simple way to track symptoms, medication, and patterns — with reminders that help you stay consistent, and a private record you control.
Your data stays on your device.
It isn’t shared, sold, analysed elsewhere, or turned into “insights” you didn’t ask for.
No advice. No coaching. No distractions.
TALIA will give you a clear record of what’s been happening — so you can advocate for yourself and manage the transition with confidence.
WHY THIS MATTERS
We didn’t set out to build a menopause app – we were looking for a simple, private, tool to help keep track of the menopause transition. What we wanted didn’t exist.
As we built the app, we spent time reading widely across menopause research, health policy, workplace studies, and advocacy work. We were surprised by what we learnt and it means that in TALIA’s future, women may be able to choose to contribute fully anonymised insights to research — but only if they want to.
Here are some of the ‘headlines’ that shaped TALIA’s direction.
Women spend over a third of their life in peri or post menopause.
Menopause is not a short phase. For most women, it spans many years and overlaps with midlife — a period already shaped by work, family, and responsibility. Despite its scale, menopause remains drastically under-represented in medical research, clinical training and routine data collection.
According to McKinsey only c. 1 percent of healthcare research and innovation is invested in female-specific conditions beyond oncology (these health conditions remain one of the most persistent blind spots in modern healthcare).
Recent audits of medical education materials show that menopause is missing from 58% of medical textbooks used to train clinicians — a statistic quoted in the 2025 AI for Pharma Growth podcast (Episode 190) and supported by recent curriculum reviews in the UK and internationally.
*See ‘Menopause is under-measured…’
Only a minority of women with menopausal symptoms receive treatment.
It is estimated that there are around 13 million women who are currently peri or menopausal in the UK. During the Menopause transition, most women report symptoms that interfere with daily life — yet only 14% of women are on HRT in the UK*. Effective treatments exist, including HRT, yet many women experience long delays before menopause is recognised or treated. Even when treatment begins, finding the right approach often takes time — and progress is rarely tracked in a structured way.
A survey found that women waited an average of 7.4 years from first presenting symptoms to receiving a correct diagnosis of perimenopause or menopause**. a statistic quoted in the 2025 AI for Pharma Growth podcast (Episode 190).

Midlife brings change - for health, work and relationships.
Menopause often coincides with a period of wider change. Symptoms can affect sleep, mood, energy, and focus, with knock-on effects for working life and personal relationships. When these changes aren’t well understood or recorded, the impact can extend far beyond health alone.
Premature departure from the workforce is a documented consequence. Women leave jobs earlier, reduce hours, or step down from senior roles due to unmanaged symptoms. [Bloomberg; HEAF Study]. The Menopause CharityThe Menopause Charity state that 10% of women leave their jobs due to menopause*.
The Employment Rights Act 2025 signals a clear shift in how menopause is viewed at work. What was once framed as “good practice” is increasingly becoming something organisations are expected to actively plan for, assess and document. Under this new legal framework, large employers (250+ staff) are encouraged to adopt menopause action plans from 2026, and from 2027 those plans become compulsory. Employers will need to demonstrate they have considered the impact of menopause on employees and taken reasonable steps to provide meaningful support — embedding menopause into their equality, wellbeing and absence management practices.
And let’s not forget that mid-40s is also the most common age for divorce in England and Wales. Many women experience relationship breakdown at the same time as other destabilising transitions.
Menopause is under-measured in a data-driven health system. And privacy matters.
Despite affecting over half the population, menopause remains under-recorded and under-measured.
For decades it’s been treated as a natural life stage rather than a health transition — rarely tracked, inconsistently discussed, and often dismissed. Symptoms vary widely, appointments are short, and much of what women experience never makes it into medical records.
Add to that a lack of dedicated research funding and understandable concerns about privacy, and it’s easy to see why a meaningful global dataset has never properly formed.
Without data, even the most advanced AI has very little to work with.
The Sudlow Review sets out a clear vision for the responsible use of health data to improve outcomes across the NHS, emphasising trusted research environments, privacy, interoperability and real-world impact. The NHS 10-Year Health Plan focuses on where data should improve outcomes (prevention, early intervention, personalised care, keeping people in work).
Filling that data gap matters — but health data is among the most sensitive there is, yet it is increasingly treated as a commercial asset rather than a personal right. The next wave of healthcare innovation will be consumer-centric, data-driven and built around women’s realities with tools they can actually use and trust. This is why for TALIA privacy isn’t a feature – it’s the foundation.
There is a growing focus on menopause!
One of the most encouraging things we discovered is how much momentum there now is around menopause.
Groups like the Menopause Mandate are helping move menopause into the open — pushing for better understanding, better care, and better outcomes. By bringing together healthcare professionals, employers, policymakers, and advocates, they are helping ensure menopause is taken seriously and talked about openly.
Alongside the Menopause Mandate, UCL’s national InTune menopause education and support programme is now being developed and piloted — a sign that long-overlooked gaps in awareness and support are starting to be addressed at a UK level.
Their work reflects a wider shift: menopause is finally being recognised as something that deserves attention, investment, and practical solutions like TĀLIA.
Who we are
We’re a husband-and-wife team.
One of us was navigating perimenopause and HRT alongside work, family, and the unpredictable nature of day-to-day symptoms. Brain fog made it harder to keep track of medication, changes, and patterns — and to recall them clearly over time, especially when it mattered.
The other has a technical background in building secure, reliable systems, and knew there was a better way to do this without personal health data leaving the device.
TALIA was built first for our own use, then shared more widely — for women who want a clear, private record they can rely on.
USER REVIEWS
★★★★★
“Between work, family and life, I was constantly second-guessing whether I’d taken my HRT or supplements. TALIA’s reminders sound simple, but they’ve taken a real mental load off. I don’t have to rely on my memory anymore — which, frankly, isn’t reliable right now. Love that it’s private and does just what I need it to do.”
★★★★★
“I thought I had a few symptoms. Turns out I had a lot. Logging them over time helped me realise patterns I’d been brushing off as ‘just life’. It’s not overwhelming, and so easy to use. I finally felt prepared when I spoke to my GP, instead of trying to remember everything on the spot. Thank you.”
★★★★★
“I kept telling myself it was probably normal, but having it tracked properly showed just how erratic my cycle had become. Being able to log bleeding alongside symptoms helped me understand things have really changed so I’ve finally booked to talk to my Doctor.”
