Co-creation is our foundation
If women aren’t at the table, the solution isn’t complete.
Designing effective solutions for women starts by listening to women.
Period pain has been normalized, dismissed, and misunderstood for too long, often by systems that have excluded the very people they claim to serve. Our approach has centered around co-creation: actively involving women in our research, decision-making, and the design process. We invite the voices of those with lived experience to help shape our solution—because we believe the people living with the problem are best placed to help solve it.
By embedding co-creation into our DNA, we’re not only building a product—we’re building a new standard for how innovation in women’s health should work. MelioOne® is the result of this collaborative effort. Its design and delivery method have been informed by what real women have communicated to us they want, need, and deserve in managing menstrual pain.
“You can’t design effective solutions without understanding the problem from those who live it.”
Before building the solution, we needed an in-depth understanding of the problem. Ensuring product-market fit at the start of our development journey, not the end 😉 We’ve taken a deeper dive into what living with menstrual pain truly looks like today. Through a survey done with Dynata involving over 800 women in the United States and Germany, we’ve collected insights on pain severity, emotional impact, treatment gaps, and quality of life disruptions.
These results will reveal an urgent picture of what’s missing in period pain care today, and how our product is positioned to fill that void. What we’ve learned has already begun shaping how we speak, what we build, and who we prioritize.
Our commitment to co-creation is ongoing.
We’re launching two new research studies to ensure MelioOne® reflects a spectrum of needs:
A gynecologist-led survey to validate our approach and gain expert insights on clinical adoption and utility.
An adolescent study to better understand attitudes towards a non-hormonal, non-contraceptive solution. By exploring the perspectives of younger women, we can better understand how our solution fits the needs of our future generation.
