menopause app user guide

It’s your daily check-in. Everything you track and log for today is shown here based on how you set the app up.

• What are you noticing? In one click log any 'Symptoms' by severity, any 'Triggers', start or edit 'Changes' over time, add personal 'Notes' or let TALIA know that today is ‘All Good’.
• Sleep Patterns: Will be active and the reminder time will be 08:00 by default. It asks 3 important questions:
• How do you feel this morning?
• How was your sleep disrupted?
• What disrupted it?

You can deselect things that don't apply to you in 'Menu'>'Sleep Patterns'. You can see your sleep trend for the last 14 mornings. Your sleep data is automatically added to 'History' where any 'Symptoms' logged will be shown with a moon icon.

• HRT: Will be on by default. Go to 'Menu'>'HRT Tracker' to turn off or begin set up. Once you have done this your 'HRT' reminders appear on the 'Today' screen so you can easily log every dose.
• Other Meds: TALIA also lets you manage other medications and supplements. It will be on by default and can be turned off in 'Menu'>'Other Meds'. When it is active a card will appear on the 'Today' screen showing you what is due today and is the place to log once taken. To add your meds, schedules and supply go to Bottom Navigation Bar>'Other Meds'.
• Trends: Once you have started logging and 'Trends' are emerging tap this card to see your top 5 ‘Trend’ graphs, and tap again to open the full 'Trends' screen.
• Current Month Overview: On the 'Today' screen the 'Calendar' shows an overview of this month only — particularly useful if you track your period or take cycle based progesterone. Clicking on a day will reveal the 'History' card for that date.

Use 'Symptoms', 'Triggers' and 'Changes' to log what you’re noticing, and 'Notes' for anything in your own words. If 'Sleep Patterns' is active you will be asked how you feel every morning at the time you choose (defaults to 08:00). You can make changes, delete or add to your record in 'History'.

Use this to log recognised menopause 'Symptoms' from a predefined list. It's helpful to log all symptoms you experience, even if they feel minor. You can choose severity by tapping and cycling through mild, moderate, or severe. Symptoms you log frequently will appear at the top to save time.

There are 6 categories:

• Physical
• Emotional & Cognitive
• Sleep & Temperature
• Sexual & Vaginal
• Bladder & Urinary
• Menstrual & Bleeding

To understand severity better there is a card within the 'Symptoms' screen and a Journal post on the TALIA website.

Some women find that various things seem to 'Trigger' or make 'Symptoms' worse. For example alcohol or work pressure. Log your experience and TALIA will surface any 'Trends'.

Women often notice 'Changes' during perimenopause - including things like a change in body shape to reduced muscle mass. TALIA logs when you notice a change start:

• This week
• This month
• Choose date

This then sets the state to 'Active' and it will also appear as a card in 'History'. If you find the 'Change' has stopped you can choose 'End' and log the end date.

If things are improving and you have a good day it is important to log it so that your data and 'Doctor's Report' reflects the improvement.

If you forget to log 'Symptoms' you can go to 'History' and add them from memory.

Each hormone you track has its own card showing what is due 'Today' (or the dose you’re due next) when to take it and, if active, where to apply it.

The earliest a missed dose will show up is the next day (or 2 days) where it will appear in 'History' in yellow as 'not logged'.

While a dose is still outstanding, that card stays in place until midnight at which point it is shown as 'not logged' in 'History'.

You can still edit and mark it as taken/applied in 'History'.

Tap the circle on the card for that hormone to add a tick. If you make a mistake you can go to 'History' and delete it to reset it, or you can edit the time you took it.

On the 'Today' screen the 'Calendar' shows an overview of this month only with the days you’ve logged 'Symptoms' marked by an underscore and the nights with a dashed line. If you track your cycle, your 'Period' is shown as well. If you take cycle-based 'Progesterone' your dose window is also displayed. Tap any past day to see your 'History' card for that date. You can not edit the information on 'Today' - go to 'History' for that functionality.

'History' is where you will see a clickable monthly 'Calendar' which jumps you directly to a specific card holding that day's full record. You can go back to earlier months using the << arrows >>.

The 'Symptom Constellation' shows your most frequent symptoms over time. The 'Changes' card shows your tracked changes — current and ended — and when each one started i.e. Weight Gain.

If you track your cycle then the Bottom Navigation Bar>'Period' screen will show a 'Calendar' view of your cycle history and predicted cycles, where you are in your current cycle as well as how your cycle length is trending.

For a dose reminder you have 2 options:

• Short tap opens the app and takes you to the relevant dose to log it.
• Press and hold allows you to mark as 'Done', 'Snooze 15 min' or 'Snooze 60 min' without having to launch TALIA.

For the 'Sleep Patterns' reminder tapping it launches TALIA and takes you to the first of 3 questions 'How do you feel this morning?'.

Patches can sometimes come off early and you might choose to replace it with a fresh one. If you apply a new patch keep to your original ‘patch change’ days.

This will be reflected in your 'HRT Supply' and 'History'.

Your schedule stays the same. If you want to change your patch days do this in Bottom Navigation Bar>'HRT'.

Select the 'HRT' you are on from the list.

• Oestrogen: patch, gel, spray or oral tablet.
• Vaginal Oestrogen: tablet, pessary, cream or ring.
• Progesterone: oral capsule, oral tablet, vaginal capsule or the IUS/coil.
• Testosterone: gel, cream, or injection/implant.
• Combined: one tablet or patch containing both hormones.
• Custom HRT: anything not listed above.

This will then display a management card for each type of 'HRT'. Tell TALIA the form, the dose, how often you take it and where to apply it if relevant. Everything else is built from that — your 'Today' cards, your schedule and reminders, your 'Supply' counts and your 'History'.

If you take cycle-based 'Progesterone' you have the option to either use the date of your last period or your last progesterone start date if you already have a schedule.

In 'HRT' each hormone has an option to 'Track supply'. If you turn this on and enter your dose and current supply it keeps count of what you have left as you log each dose, and lets you know when to reorder.

A card appears at the top of the HRT screen to give you an overview of your Supply.

If you have set up the 'Remind me to reorder' within 'Track supply' you will receive a reminder notification a number of days before you run out - set up defaults to 7 days which you can change.

When a new prescription arrives, use the refill button on the relevant hormone to top the count back up. There is no supply tracking for the coil, the vaginal ring, or injections and implants, as there is nothing to count down.

Once you start logging your 'HRT' you will be able to quickly view how consistent you are with your routine. The card shows each type of 'HRT' you are on and gives you a 14 day visual to show whether each dose was:

• Taken
• Late
• Missed
• Not due (eg if you are on cycle-based 'Progesterone')

The option to set up 'Combined HRT (Oestrogen + Progesterone)' only appears if both the separate 'Oestrogen' and 'Progesterone' sections are turned off. Equally when 'Combined' is on the separate hormones are not shown. Doses you have already logged stay in your 'History' either way.

Each hormone you switch on has its own reminder switch and dose time, below its dose and frequency. A gel or spray taken twice a day gets a second application time.

For anything taken twice a week you pick your first change day and one reminder time — the second change day is always three days later, so your doses fall on the same two days every week. Your schedule will only change if you edit it - even if you are late with a dose.

Cycle based 'Progesterone' always has a card on the 'Today' screen. If you are within the dose taking days it will show the reminder time as well as which day of the cycle you are on. If you are outside the dose days the card will show you when your next window is. The 'Progesterone' cycle is also displayed visually on all 'Calendars' too.

The coil and the vaginal ring have no dose reminder, as there is nothing due day to day.

Because the 'Apply-to-side' reminder is on for that hormone — TALIA reminds you to switch between sides. Turn on ‘Rotate body areas too’ and body areas join the rotation, with a list of the areas advised for your form that you can add to or switch off. ‘Use both sides at a time’ appears there too, for a dose that goes on both sides at once.

From one of two methods:

• Choose ‘From last period’ and TALIA counts your chosen cycle day forward from the first day of your last 'Period'.
• Choose ‘I already have a schedule’ and it uses the date you last started 'Progesterone'. From then on the schedule repeats every 28 days from that point regardless of whether your future periods are longer or shorter.

No — change the dose here and carry on. TALIA records the change and the date it happened, so your 'Trends' and your 'Doctor’s report' can show if your 'Symptoms' were affected.

Go to 'Add or remove HRT' and untick it in the list. Its card and its reminders will stop, and 'Supply Tracking' for it is switched off too. Everything you have already logged stays in your 'History', and you can switch it back on later if required.

Period is on by default and can be turned off or your cycle information added via 'Menu'>'Period Tracker'.

If you track your cycle then the Bottom Navigation Bar>'Period' screen will show a 'Calendar' view of your cycle history and predicted cycles (in yellow) as well as your 'Progesterone' cycle if relevant/active. All of the cycle information is based on data you enter as part of set up in 'Menu'>'Period Tracker' or Bottom Navigation Bar>'HRT'.

You can use the 'Calendar' to log your flow by tapping on the day and choosing your flow (none, spotting, light, medium or heavy).

'Where you are now' is a simple visual to give you a snapshot of which day of your cycle it is and what phase you are currently in i.e. Luteal.

'Trends' and 'Recent Cycles' gives you information on how your cycle length is trending.

No. You only need to mark the days you actually bleed, and there is nothing to record in between. Your cycle day in 'Where you are now', the 'Recent cycles' chart and the 'Trends' are all worked out from the days you log, and the predicted days come from those together with the 'Period' and cycle lengths set in 'Menu'>'Period Tracker'.

You set them yourself in 'Menu'>'Period Tracker', along with the first day of your last 'Period'. Period length can be 2 to 10 days and cycle length 21 to 40 days; they default to 5 and 28 until you change them. As you begin to log in TALIA your 'Trends' within the 'Period' screen will show your average cycle and, if necessary, suggest your original settings are updated to reflect the most recent data.

Yes 'Period' is on by default and adds an icon to the Bottom Navigation Bar. You turn it off in 'Menu'>'Period Tracker'.

Nothing is deleted. The 'Period' icon on the Bottom Navigation Bar will be removed and your flow days and predicted days stop showing on the 'Today' and 'History' calendars. Switching it back on in 'Menu'>'Period Tracker' brings everything back as it was.

Yes. If you have 'Menu'>'Period Tracker' enabled the data will be in your 'Doctor's Report' unless you choose to turn it off when you produce a PDF.

They all read the same logs, so a day you mark here shows everywhere and every 'Calendar' counts its predictions from the same starting point. Flow is logged on the Bottom Navigation Bar>'Period' screen 'Calendar', and you can also add it to a past day from that day's card in 'History'.

A month-by-month record of what you’ve logged: 'Symptoms', 'Triggers', your 'Period' if you track it, your 'HRT' doses and adherence, 'Sleep Patterns' and 'Notes'. Below the 'Calendar' there’s one card per day that is scrollable or you can click on the date to jump directly to it (return to the Calendar by clicking on the ^ arrow). Use the << arrows >> either side of the month name to move between months, tap the month name to jump to another one, or ‘This Month’ to come back.

The 'Symptom Constellation' shows up to 14 of your most frequent 'Symptoms' over time. The 'Changes' card shows your tracked changes — current and ended — and when each one started i.e. Weight Gain.

You can add, delete or edit entries here.

Tap ‘Calendar Key’ to see the marks that apply to you:

• A short line under the date: you logged 'Symptoms' that day.
• A short dashed line under the date: you logged 'Symptoms' as part of 'Sleep Patterns'.
• A small dot above the date: spotting.
• The colour of the circle: your 'Period' flow — light, medium or heavy — or a predicted period, if you track your period.
• A blue coloured ring: a day in your 'Progesterone' cycle, if your progesterone is cycle-based.

Today is marked by a dark ring sitting just outside the circle.

Yes. On that day’s card you can add, delete or edit entries. ‘+ Symptom’ and ‘+ Trigger’ opens the relevant screens — tapping a 'Symptom' moves it through Mild, Moderate and Severe and then off again, and tapping a trigger switches it on or off. 'Period' flow and spotting have a small cross on the chip to clear them. You can view and edit your 'HRT' schedule, 'Sleep Patterns' as well as 'Notes' too. Future days can’t be tapped.

Yes you can in 'History' within a date card. Tap the pencil on that dose row, set the time and save. The 'Oestrogen' rows — including 'Combined HRT' and 'Vaginal Oestrogen' — can also be moved to a different day, as long as the dose is dated within the last 30 days: up to seven days either way, and never into the future. 'Progesterone', 'Testosterone' and 'Custom HRT' rows can have their time corrected but not their day.

You can only delete an 'HRT' dose within 'History' while it is still dated today. Open the pencil on the dose row, tap the bin and confirm. After that the time can still be corrected for up to 90 days, but the dose itself can’t be removed.

You can add either by pressing the + buttons. To change the severity or delete either you need to click on the + button because this will launch the screen showing the full 'Symptoms' and 'Triggers' list with what you previously logged. In these screens you can cycle through your 'Symptom' severity including turning it off and you can turn a 'Trigger' on and off.

If you logged your 'Sleep Patterns' the moon icon to the right of the date will be in white rather than muted and the log will appear in the card. If you click on your 'Sleep' log you can edit directly on the screen that appears or ‘Remove sleep log’ at the bottom.

If you logged a 'Note' on a date in 'History' the icon to the right of the date will be in white rather than muted and the 'Note' log will appear in the card. If you click on a 'Note' log a screen appears with a list of notes logged on that date. Either click on an individual note to view and edit or swipe left on the arrow icon to be able to delete.

The 'Oestrogen' logs — including 'Combined HRT' and 'Vaginal Oestrogen' — can be moved to a different day, as long as the dose is dated within the last 30 days: up to seven days either way, and never into the future. 'Progesterone', 'Testosterone' and 'Custom HRT' logs can have their time corrected but not their day.

Inside a day card the 'HRT' adherence ring also shows how many doses you logged out of the number expected. If you have missed a dose you can log it as taken — TALIA suggests your scheduled time, which you can adjust before you confirm.

'Other Meds' have their own 'History' section and do not appear in the main 'History' screen - only 'HRT' doses do.

Yes. Find the day in 'History' and tap the small x on the 'All Good' chip. Only the 'All Good' marker is removed - 'Symptoms' are never deleted this way. The day then counts as nothing logged.

Until this update, TALIA sometimes marked quiet days as 'All Good' automatically. If some of your 'All Good' days don't look right, this is how to tidy them up.

The 'Symptom Constellation' shows up to 14 of your most frequent 'Symptoms' over time. The size of each chip directly relates to the frequency of your logs so at a glance you can see which 'Symptoms' affect you the most often.

It is carried over month to month on the 'History' page.

Use 'Add Medication or Supplement'. Say which of the two it is, give it a name and a dose, then choose how often you take it and at what times. You can add Notes if you want to, and choose whether it appears on your 'Doctor’s Report'.

Four:

• Every day
• Specific weekdays: you pick the days.
• Day interval: every 2 days, every 3, and so on.
• As required: no set times, logged whenever you take it.

Apart from 'As required', you can add more than one time a day and set different times for weekends.

Yes 'Other Meds' is on by default and adds an icon to the Bottom Navigation Bar. You turn it off in 'Menu'>'Other Meds'.

Active medications appear on your 'Today' screen and send reminders. Paused ones stay here with their settings and history, but go quiet. The circle beside each name switches between the two — it is not a way of marking a dose as taken.

On the 'Today' screen. Tap the circle beside a scheduled dose to tick it off. An as-required medication has a plus instead, so you can add a dose each time you take one, and remove one if you add it by mistake.

If you have 'Missed' a dose you can go to the 'History' section, find the 'Missed dose' and click on it to mark as 'Taken'.

'Other Meds' have their own 'History' section and do not appear in Bottom Navigation Bar>'History' - only 'HRT' doses do.

Yes. Open 'History' from this screen (not from the Bottom Navigation Bar) and tap the dose. A missed one offers 'Mark as Taken'; one you have already logged offers 'Edit time' or 'Delete'. Deleting puts its unit back into your 'Supply' count and cannot be undone.

Turn on 'Track supply' when you add or edit a medication and enter how many you have. It counts down as you log doses, and the 'Supply' tile shows what each active medication has left — flagging any that are low once you are down to the number of days you set.

The 'History' screen within 'Other Meds' shows what doses you have 'Taken' or 'Missed'. You can choose to view 'All' doses, only 'Taken' doses or only 'Missed' doses over the following day ranges:

• 7 days
• 14 days
• 30 days
• All

'Missed' doses have a small white dot. Tapping on a 'Missed' dose allows you to 'Mark as Taken'.

Tapping on a 'Taken' dose allows you to 'Edit time' or 'Delete'.

'Trends' help to surface patterns based on the data that you have logged and will therefore take time to build and update. There is a text based overview and visual representations of your 'Sleep Patterns', '5 most frequent Symptoms', 'Trigger' patterns and how consistent you are with your 'HRT'.

Each chart covers eight weeks, left to right, ending on the most recent day you logged rather than always on today. Any 'HRT' dose changes are marked to help show any correlation between 'Symptoms' and treatment. It is not a diagnosis, and it cannot tell you what caused a change.

TALIA holds a chart back until there is enough behind it to be worth reading.

• 'Symptoms' charts start once you have logged on at least five days.
• A 'Symptom' needs at least three logged days inside the eight weeks before it gets a chart of its own.
• The 'Sleep Patterns' chart needs at least ten logged mornings in that window.

Everything you log is saved either way, and you can see it day by day in 'History'.

Whatever your logging supports.

• 'Symptoms': up to five, the ones that have changed the most.
• 'Sleep Patterns': if sleep tracking is on and you have logged enough mornings.
• Trends: up to four, covering a 'Trigger', a tracked 'Change', your 'HRT' routine and your 'All Good' days depending on your data.
• Other patterns noticed: short observations about dose changes and tracked changes.

The list changes as your logging does, so cards come and go.

The charts only reach back eight weeks from your most recent logged day, and only five 'Symptoms' get their own chart at a time. Something you logged a while ago, or logged on fewer than three days inside that window, drops out.

Nothing has been deleted. 'History' still holds every day you logged.

'Triggers' you happened to log on the same days as a 'Symptom', drawn from everything you have logged rather than just the eight weeks the charts cover. A pairing has to have turned up on at least three separate days before TALIA mentions it, and at most three are listed.

Logged on the same day is not the same as one causing the other.

No. 'Trends' is worked out on your phone from the days you have logged. No online service and no AI is involved in producing it.

Anything you want to record in your own words typed or dictated — how a week has felt, a question for your next appointment, something that doesn’t fit 'Symptoms' or 'Triggers'. Every 'Note' you’ve written is listed here, newest first, with the date it’s saved under. Choose to add it to your 'Doctor's Report' or not.

Yes. Tap ‘+ Add Note’, write or dictate it, and set the day under ‘Save for date’ — it will default to today. 'Notes' you write from the 'Today' screen, or from a day card in 'History', are saved to that day automatically.

Switch on ‘Add to Doctor’s report’ while you’re writing it, or open the 'Note' later and switch it on then. Only notes with that setting on are included, and only when the day they’re saved under falls inside the date range you choose for the report.

Tap a 'Note' in the list to edit its wording or its 'Doctor’s Report' setting, then save. To delete one, swipe it left in the list — once deleted it’s gone from your record.

No — the day is fixed when you create the 'Note', and editing it afterwards changes only the wording and the 'Doctor’s Report' setting.

On that day’s card in 'History'. The card shows the opening words of the most recent 'Note' saved to the day, and the bookmark at the top of the card opens any for that date.

It turns what you have logged over a period you choose into a PDF laid out for a clinician to read quickly. Everything in it comes from your own records.

It is there to support the conversation. It does not diagnose anything, and it does not recommend changes to your treatment.

Pick 'Last Month', 'Last 2 Months' or 'Last 3 Months', or set your own start and end dates. A custom range can run up to three months from its start date, but cannot end after today.

Yes. Every section your data supports is listed under ‘Include in report’ with a tick box. You can remove sections by unticking individual items or you can choose to 'Deselect all' and check only what you want to include.

• Sections you have no data for are not offered at all. Most are judged on the dates you picked, but your 'HRT' regimen and your 'Other Meds' are judged on what your current doses are.
• The full daily log starts switched off because it adds pages, and the label estimates how many.
• The weekly 'Symptom' summary is only offered when the report period is longer than six weeks, and also defaults to being off.
• Your choices are remembered for next time.

Choose 'Generate PDF'. You can click 'Preview' to read it through or 'Share' to send it. 'Share' uses your device’s usual sharing options, so the report only goes where you send it. It is created on your device and stays there until you choose to share it.

That section only covers a 30-day window ending on your report’s end date, regardless of your chosen start date, and it prints the exact dates it used.

'History' will also show a day when a dose was expected and nothing was logged - displaying as a missed dose.

A few things worth checking:

• The section is unticked under ‘Include in report’.
• Nothing you logged for that section falls inside the dates you chose, so it is not offered at all.
• 'Notes' only appear if you switched on ‘Add to Doctor’s report’ when you created it.

If no report can be built at all, change the dates or keep logging. The button stays off until at least one section is available and ticked.

It lists every 'HRT' start and dose change that falls inside the dates you have selected - each with the date, the hormone and what changed.

It is there to help you choose your dates. If you want your report to show how a change affected you, check when the change happened and set the date range to cover the time before and after it.

If the list is empty, there were no 'HRT' changes in the selected dates.

Five groups:

• Log & Track: 'HRT Tracker', 'Period Tracker', 'Sleep Patterns' and 'Other Meds' — where you choose what's relevant to you.
• Insights: 'Notes', 'Trends' and your 'Doctor’s Report'.
• Account: 'Manage Subscription', 'Gift a Friend' and 'Settings'.
• Help: 'App Help' — browse and search everything TALIA can explain — and 'Contact TALIA'.
• Language: which language TALIA reads in.

Items under Log & Track can be switched on or off including:

• 'HRT Tracker': on by default with an icon on the Bottom Navigation Bar.
• 'Period Tracker': on by default with an icon on the Bottom Navigation Bar.
• 'Sleep Patterns': on by default with a reminder at 08:00.
• 'Other Meds': on by default with an icon on the Bottom Navigation Bar.

'Trends' is always on the 'Today' screen - tapping the card will open the card to show the top 5 'Symptoms', tap again to enter the full 'Trends' screen.

'Calendar' - Current Month Overview is always on the 'Today' screen. Tapping a date gives a read only overview.

You will have been asked to enable reminders as part of set up.

Reminders sit within the following sections of the app:

• Symptoms: The daily prompt to log any 'Symptoms' is in 'Menu'>'Settings' and you can choose to change the default time of 20:00 or turn it off.
• HRT: Set your 'HRT' dose reminders per hormone in Bottom Navigation Bar>'HRT' - this includes daily and cycle based - but can be further extended to 'apply-to-side' and 'rotate body areas too' if relevant.
• Sleep Patterns: This functionality is on by default and set to ask 'How do you feel this morning?' at 08:00. Change the time in 'Menu'>'Sleep Patterns'.
• Other Meds: If you want to be able to track and get reminders for 'Other Meds' both need turning on in 'Menu'>'Other Meds'. Once this is done individual reminder times are set within Bottom Navigation Bar>'Other Meds'>'Add Medication or Supplement' where you will have the option to set the 'Schedule', 'Weekday Times' and 'Weekend' times including the option of a 'Follow-up reminder'.

For a dose reminder you have 2 options:

• Short tap opens the app and take you to the relevant dose to log it.
• Press and hold allows you to mark as 'Done' 'Snooze 15 min' or 'Snooze 60 min' without having to launch TALIA.

For the 'Sleep Patterns' reminder tapping it launches TALIA and takes you to first of 3 questions 'How do you feel this morning'.

It shares a message and a link that gives someone their first month of TALIA free. The message also explains that it continues as a yearly subscription after that, and can be cancelled before the month ends. You choose how to send it, and nothing goes anywhere until you send it yourself.

'Manage Subscription' shows your current plan and when it next renews or ends, then hands you over to Apple/Google's subscription settings, where changes and cancellations are made. TALIA cannot change your subscription itself.

Privacy is central to TALIA and how it has been developed. We think it is essential that Users can read the 'Privacy Policy' in full before they download and install TALIA.

TALIA is 100% private and this has been independently verified to Gold Standard by Peak Privacy. Read all about why this matters on the TALIA website under 'Your Data' and on our 'Journal'.

All the main screens of TALIA have a link to 'Help' (shown by the question mark icon) in the top right.

The 'App Help' in 'Menu' allows you to browse everything by screen card questions or you can use the search bar and type a keyword.

Tick each type of hormone you are prescribed and then TALIA takes you to the 'HRT' screen to set up the form, the dose and how often you take it. Everything else is built from that — your 'Today' cards, your schedule and reminders, your 'Supply' counts and your 'History'.

You can choose from:

• Oestrogen: patch, gel, spray or oral tablet.
• Vaginal Oestrogen: tablet, pessary, cream or ring.
• Progesterone: oral capsule, oral tablet, vaginal capsule or the IUS/coil.
• Testosterone: gel, cream, or injection/implant.
• Combined: one tablet or patch containing both hormones.
• Custom HRT: anything not listed above.

Yes you can. 'HRT' is on by default - turn off the 'I am on HRT' toggle and it will remove the icon and any cards/reminders.

'Period Tracker' is on by default which adds a 'Period' icon to TALIA's Bottom Navigation Bar and shows bleeding and spotting on your Calendars. Use the toggle to turn off 'Use Period Tracker. It will remove the icon from the Bottom Navigation Bar and remove any visual data from the Calendar.

The 'Period' tab disappears and period markings stop showing on your calendars. Nothing you have logged is deleted — switch it back on and it is all still there.

They give TALIA something to predict your cycle from.

• First day of last period: the date your most recent 'Period' began.
• Period length: how many days you usually bleed, from 2 to 10.
• Cycle length: how many days your periods are on average, from 21 to 40. As you log in TALIA your 'Trends' within the 'Period' screen will show your average cycle and, if necessary, suggest your original settings are updated to reflect the most recent data.

If you take cycle-based 'Progesterone', 'Your HRT' also uses that date to set when the progesterone cycle first starts.

Come back and change it; nothing here is fixed. Once you have logged some bleeding, TALIA predicts from your most recent logged 'Period' start rather than this date, so an early mistake matters less as you log.

That prompt appears on the 'Period' tab when your logged periods have been averaging a different length from the numbers here. Apply it and these settings update; leave it and everything stays as you set it.

'Sleep Patterns' data can be very useful for your Clinician but you can turn it off in 'Menu'>'Sleep Patterns'. The card will be removed from your 'Today' screen and the morning reminder is switched off with it. Nights you have already recorded are kept, and turning it back on brings the card back to 'Today'.

Yes. By default 'Sleep Patterns' are on and the 'Reminder time' is set to 08:00. You can change the time to whatever suits your morning routine. The question is always about how you are feeling about the night before.

Yes. Turn off 'Morning reminder' and leave 'Use Sleep Patterns' on. The card stays on your 'Today' screen for whenever you get to it, and no notification arrives.

'Sleep' is a very personal experience. By default the full list of disruptions is checked and listed on the 'Today' card. Tap one to move it between 'Active' and 'Not active' — only the active ones appear the next morning. Switch them all off and that question simply stops being asked.

Any logged 'Disruptions' appear in 'History' with a moon icon to represent the relationship with your sleep.

No. Nights you have already logged keep the answers you gave in 'History'. Switching one off only changes what you are offered from the next morning onwards.

This would suggest that 'Morning reminder' is not active on 'Menu'>'Sleep Patterns'. This screen shows whether notifications are allowed.

Many users want to be able to add and track medications and supplements other than 'HRT'. 'Other Meds Tracking' and the ability to get reminders will be on by default which means that the 'Other Meds' icon will be active on the Bottom Navigation Bar with a card on 'Today' showing what is due.

You manage your 'Other Meds' schedules via the Bottom Navigation Bar>'Other Meds'.

Yes. Leave 'Use Other Meds Tracking' on and turn 'Enable Other Meds reminders' off. The times you set on each medication via the Bottom Navigation Bar>'Other Meds' are kept — but you won't get notified.

The 'Other Meds' tab and its 'Today' card disappear, and its reminders stop. The medications you added and everything you have logged are kept — turn tracking back on and they are all still there.

Entirely on your phone. TALIA has no account and no sign-in, so nothing you log is tied to an identity. The one copy that leaves your phone by itself is your personal iCloud backup below, and only while that is switched on — anything else, such as a 'Doctor’s Report', only goes somewhere if you send it yourself.

With it on, TALIA saves a backup of your data to your own iCloud account each time you close the app. Apple encrypts and stores it; TALIA has no access to it and cannot view it. We do advise keeping this active in the event that you change your phone or delete the app and then want to reinstall it and restore your data.

Sign in to the same iCloud account and open TALIA — if the phone has no data yet and a backup is found, it offers to restore straight away. You can also restore from here, using the 'Restore from iCloud' button that appears once TALIA can see a backup. Either way, restoring replaces everything currently on the device and cannot be undone.

'Symptom Log Reminder' will be on by default, and the 'Reminder time' set to 20:00. You can edit the time or turn it off.

Yes. 'Appearance' lets you switch between 'TALIA Ocean' (default) and 'TALIA Plum', a plain theme that helps if you find busy visuals distracting or want more contrast for easier reading. Plum applies to the 'Today', 'HRT', 'Period', 'History', 'Other Meds' and 'Menu' screens.

Go to 'Menu'>'App Language' and choose one from the list. TALIA has to close and reopen to apply it, so it asks you to close it and then open it again from your Home Screen. This changes TALIA only, not your phone.

English (UK), English (US), French, German, Italian and Spanish, plus Automatic. Automatic follows whatever language your device is set to.

No. Your entries stay exactly as they are — only the language TALIA uses changes.

Please do. We translate TALIA ourselves and we are a small team, so some phrasing may not be quite how you would say it. Tap 'Contact TALIA' under 'Help' in the 'Menu' to let us know, and we will keep improving it.
