Perimenopause is confusing. Cycles shift, sleep gets lighter, energy moves in ways you can't quite place. Mella helps you see the pattern. How it works: • Start with a short assessment. Based on the symptoms you share, Mella suggests which phase of the transition your pattern best fits (early, mid, or late). For education, not a medical diagnosis. • See your symptom profile. Your answers mapped across six dimensions (temperature, sleep, mood, body, intimate, digestive) so you can spot what's shifting and what isn't. • Check in daily. Thirty seconds to log common perimenopause symptoms, or add your own. Your history builds into a timeline so you can see what's changing over time. • See your sleep, scored. Connect Apple Health and Mella turns your Apple Watch sleep into a nightly score, plus trends in duration, regularity, and wake-ups. • Let your days fill themselves in. Connect Apple Health and the movement your Apple Watch recorded can pre-fill your daily check-in. • Gentle daily reminders. An optional daily nudge so checking in becomes a habit. • Today on your Lock Screen. Check in, log a symptom or mark a dose without opening the app. • Meet your Bloom Type. After your first seven check-ins, Mella reveals the archetype your pattern most resembles: the cluster of symptoms you carry, the way they travel, the rhythm that's only yours. It's a name for what's happening, not a diagnosis. • Something to read each day. A short piece drawn from research, matched to the areas where you have the most room to feel better. • Follow a weekly plan. A few small tasks each week, chosen with you around the symptom area that hits hardest, ticked off day by day. • Get weekly insights. As your check-in history grows, Mella highlights patterns across your symptoms week to week, in plain language. • Read or listen on your own time. Short, research-informed articles on perimenopause topics, from sleep to mood to body changes. Selected articles come with audio narration. • Keep your daily routine in one place. What you take and do each day, with a history you can look back through and bring to an appointment. • Get ready for doctor visits. Turn your check-ins into a clear summary with your questions, add lab results, letters or scans, get a reminder before the appointment, record the visit if your doctor is fine with it, and keep what you were told and what comes next. Save or share the summary as a PDF. Mella is for education and wellness. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
