OurTransitions

The OurTransitions App is being used for a feasibility study of female individuals (35-55 years) to capture novel information beginning with the earliest part of the path to menopause using personal digital health technologies (DHTs) conducted by 4YouandMe - a digital health non-profit organization in partnership with Women Living Better (WLB). The eventual aim of this work is two-fold; 1.) to increase knowledge, awareness and education for individuals and clinicians about the lived experience of perimenopause and menopause through objectively measured data from digital study devices, and 2.) to develop digital approaches to empower female individuals to manage this transition by learning what improves or worsens their symptoms. If you participate in this study, you will have the opportunity to track and follow your own data and other participants' data (who consent to this data sharing) to learn from their experiences. If you are 35-55 years old, reside in the US or Canada, are able to speak, write, and read English, and are able to provide informed consent, you may be eligible to participate. If you decide to participate, after having a conversation with a 4YouandMe representative, you will download the OurTransitions App where you will be fully informed of the study details and sign a consent form agreeing to participate. This app will serve as a hub for study participation. Using this app, you can track your study progress, complete surveys and tasks, and connect other mobile apps and wearable devices that will be provided to you that will include an Oura Ring, and a Fitbit Sense 2 or you can share data from your own personal wearable device. You will be asked to use the study app, wear the provisioned wearable devices for 6-12 months, and communicate with a 4YouandMe Engagement Specialist every 2 weeks to discuss your experience. We expect that using the app for the study will take less than 5 minutes daily. This study has been reviewed and approved by an Institutional Review Board (Advarra, Pro00090476).
