HerCycle : Smart Reproductive Health

The Problem

Millions of women face reproductive health challenges such as PCOS, irregular cycles, and hormonal imbalances. With today’s fast-paced lifestyles, awareness of these conditions is increasing, but many women still don’t know what steps to take next. Additionally, most are unaware of how genetics influence reproductive health, making personalized guidance difficult to access.

Gaps In The Current Market 

While there are apps that focus on cycle prediction, and some even use AI, they fall short in several areas:

  • Lack of personalization: Most apps do not account for hereditary factors or daily lifestyle changes, making their predictions and advice less accurate.
  • No actionable guidance: Users rarely receive small, practical steps to help regulate their cycles.
  • Limited use of genetic data: Current apps rely mostly on self-reported lifestyle and bodily changes, but have not yet integrated genetic insights to create truly personalized recommendations.

The Solution 

A smart period tracker that goes beyond simple cycle logging. It acts as a daily AI-powered health coach, combining a quick 1-minute daily quiz with ongoing lifestyle tracking to generate tailored micro-goals that help users regulate their cycles, manage symptoms, and adopt healthier habits.

The quizzes allow the AI to predict, schedule, and adjust period dates based on lifestyle changes and logged early or late periods, making cycle tracking more accurate over time.

Gamification elements like badges and streaks keep users engaged. In the near future, genetic data will be integrated to further personalize recommendations. All guidance is verified by healthcare professionals, ensuring safe and actionable insights.

Who Benefits 

  • Primary users: Women with mild to moderate reproductive health challenges such as irregular cycles, hormonal imbalances, or early-stage PCOS who want to better understand their body and regulate their cycles naturally.
  • Secondary users: Young women seeking to optimize reproductive health, especially those with hereditary risk factors.
  • Healthcare providers: Doctors, nutritionists, and wellness coaches can leverage insights to provide more personalized guidance.

Note: The app is not intended to replace medical treatment for severe conditions or users who require prescription medication, these users should continue under professional care.

Why This Problem Matters To Me

I personally experienced PCOS in 11th and 12th grade, and it took me a long journey to understand how to reverse it. This experience showed me how challenging it can be for women to navigate reproductive health on their own. I want to educate and empower women to take actionable steps for their health in today’s fast-paced lives. By integrating genetic data, the app can provide insights into hereditary factors, helping users make informed lifestyle and wellness decisions, something I wish I had known earlier.
