P2P Menopause
Companies launch platforms that connect women experiencing perimenopause
Trend - Brands are launching support structure apps and platforms that connect women experiencing perimenopause and menopause with each other and support professionals. This fosters a sense of community while also providing direct, community-backed information on navigating this time of life.

Insight - Women experiencing perimenopause and menopause often feel like they are isolated. These women search the internet for ways to manage symptoms, but find few solutions that suit their exact situation. These women desire testimonials and spaces for discussing symptoms and strategies for managing them, as these conversations are stigmatized with real-life acquaintances. This pressures brands to create community-oriented platforms for women in these situations to interact safely.
Workshop Question - How could your industry foster a sense of community with its consumers?
