Natural Cycles, known for creating the first FDA-cleared birth control app, launched NC° Perimenopause as a digital tool to empower women through a natural time of transition. "With NC° Perimenopause, we've brought the same scientific rigor behind our birth control app to this underserved stage of life," detailed Dr. Elina Berglund Scherwitzl, co-founder and CEO of Natural Cycles. "This goes beyond symptom tracking--it's a science-backed tool that helps women understand their bodies, adjust their lifestyle, and navigate perimenopause with confidence and clarity."
NC° Perimenopause is powered by the new NC° Menopause Algorithm, which analyzes cycle patterns, changes in symptoms, and biometric data measured with integrated wearables like the Oura Ring or Apple Watch, or Natural Cycles' NC° Band.
