Women spend more than a third of their lives in peri- or post-menopause, and projections suggest that by 2030, approximately 1.2 billion women globally will be in these life stages. Despite the prevalence of menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep disturbances, the majority of women do not seek treatment, with only a quarter receiving it. The economic impact is substantial, with untreated hot flashes alone estimated to incur nearly $1,400 in health costs and $770 in lost productivity per person per year (Mckinsey & Company: 24).

There exists significant potential to address these conditions in novel ways, as a range of scientific advances can now be leveraged in women’s health.
