Menopause Goes High Tech: A New App Helps You through the Ups and Downs

Silicon Valley is finally recognizing that menopause is a thing and that women who go through it have needs and clout. Apple now has an app for us.

Who knew that the tech sector even realized older women existed? With all the young bros and millennials playing foosball at Google Headquarters or drinking chai lattes at Silicon Valley coffee shops as they map out their "unicorn" start ups, a woman's ovaries, especially a woman's very tired ovaries, seemed far off the radar. But miracles do happen, and as part of Women's History Month, Apple is promoting a new app called Caria that promises to hold your hand (virtually) through the menopause experience.

"In the field of women’s health, medical advancement has focused on birth control and fertility treatments," Apple stated in a news release. "Even though women spend several years and an average of $20,000 in trial-and-error treatments, doctor’s visits, and products trying to get the right diagnosis and treatment for menopause." See, ladies, we're not totally invisible any longer.

NextTribe is a travel and events company for women 45+. We believe that now—at midlife—is our shaken-Etch-A-Sketch moment, when the slate is once again blank. Today, our conversations question which direction we are headed in and how to get there. How to drink it all in and how to give back. We’d like your voices and humor to be heard, your ideas to be shared, and for you to hear ours. This tribe is one of contemplation, inspiration, wit, and action. Though we may have men in our lives, we believe it’s invigorating to touch base at a time like this with people who have the same sagging parts and swinging moods. Now that we have more time for adventure, more experience for new life paths, more wisdom to connect the dots in our histories, and less care about what people think, we’re sure these coming years can be a glorious stretch. Spiritual and irreverent, creative and courageous, this site, these postings, will serve as our cave drawings and warrior paint. Please join us on our walkabout.
