🚀 Mira, a leading provider of hormonal health solutions for women, launched the Menopause Transitions Kit. Mira’s Menopause Transitions Kit is an AI-based at-home hormone monitor that tracks four key reproductive hormones (FSH, E3G, PdG, LH). Additionally, Mira launches a Menopause Transitions mode in its app for Mira Kit users. 💡 💬 "Unfortunately, menopause remains a deeply stigmatized issue, accompanied by the lack of education for women and helpful tools to prepare. By launching the menopause transition kit, we aim to offer women a solution that informs and empowers them. While many existing solutions only address the problem when it already exists, Mira Hormone Monitor: Menopause Transitions Kit provides an opportunity to enter and go through the whole menopause journey without guessing, address symptoms earlier, and better understand the changes that are such a normal part of aging."
