Pineapl is a UK-based startup that seeks to support those facing fertility issues by matching them with peers. Those dealing with infertility can feel isolated, stressed, and anxious and this platform was created to bridge the gap in the community to help change negative social stigma often associated with the issue.
Pineapl lets users find others who have faced similar infertility challenges and provides a safe, private, and user-controlled space for individuals to share and communicate. Thanks to the smart peer-matching technology, the app connects those facing similar situations -- including cause, journey stage, and treatment type. Pineapl also offers sensitivity shields to help users avoid sensitive or triggering content.
The Pineapl app gives users security and support for those facing infertility thanks to its smart technology.
