Digital Therapeutics for Menopause in the Workplace

更年期是生命的一个自然过程，导致多达34种公认的症状。这些症状的严重程度和频率会使人虚弱，并对那些在工作中经历更年期的人产生负面影响。鉴于目前有1 550万妇女就业，需要采取措施，更好地了解那些在工作场所经历更年期的妇女的独特需求。目前，英国只有29家NHS更年期诊所（平均等待时间为6个月）。因此，SORA具有商业潜力，可以帮助72%感到得不到支持的在职女性，减少缺勤和长期病假。鉴于77%的NHS员工是女性，平均年龄为43岁，SORA是一个热门话题。我们提出了一项调查，以了解那些经历更年期的劳动力的经验，并创建以患者为中心的数字治疗（DTx）解决方案来支持他们。

Menopause is a natural process of life, resulting in up to 34 recognised symptoms. The severity and frequency of these symptoms can be debilitating and negatively impact those experiencing menopause at work. Given that 15.5 million women are currently in employment, measures need to be put in place to understand better the unique needs of those experiencing menopause in the workplace. Currently there are only 29 NHS menopause clinics in the U.K (average waiting times-6months).Thus, SORA has the commercial potential to support 72% of women in work who say they feel unsupported, reducing absenteeism and long term sick leaves taken.SORA is topical given 77% of NHS staff are female, with an average age of 43.We propose an inquiry to understand the experiences of those in the workforce going through menopause and create patient-centred digital therapeutics (DTx) solutions to support them.
