Menopause
Menopause is a significant life transition that shapes health, work, and everyday experiences. Despite its impact, it remains under-discussed, under-researched, and often poorly supported across systems. Our work focuses on understanding how individuals navigate menopause in real-world contexts, and how systems, environments, and supports can better respond to their needs.
Why this research matters?
Improve access to relevant support
Support the design of resources and tools
Inform more inclusive healthcare practices
Highlight gaps in existing systems and services
Menopause intersects with health, work, and quality of life, yet it is rarely centered in design, policy, or systems thinking. By focusing on lived experience, this research contributes to more responsive and equitable approaches to care. This work aims to:
