    "problem": "Perimenopause symptoms (sleep disruption, mood changes, brain fog, irregular cycles, hot flashes) are frequently misattributed to stress, depression, or normal aging, leaving women undiagnosed and untreated for years. Most never get a documented diagnosis, and many primary-care clinicians receive little menopause training, so symptoms are dismissed or mislabeled and the right specialist referral or treatment never happens.",
    "whyNow": "Menopause has flipped from a taboo into the fastest-growing femtech vertical, with category leader Midi Health reaching a $1B valuation in February 2026 and most major PPO insurers now covering virtual menopause visits. Cheap consumer wearables, validated digital symptom scales, and AI pattern-detection make it newly feasible to flag the transition early and route women to covered care before symptoms derail work and health.",

      "Midi Health, a virtual menopause and midlife clinic, surpassed a $1B valuation in February 2026 after a $100M Series D and now serves ~230,000 patients with insurance coverage for ~45 million women, proving payer and consumer demand for menopause care.",
      "A Mayo Clinic Proceedings study (2023) of 4,440 employed women estimated menopause symptoms cost roughly $1.8B per year in lost work time in the US (about $26.6B with medical costs), with symptom severity strongly predicting adverse work outcomes.",
      "Komodo Health analysis found only about 7% of women aged 45-51 had a documented perimenopause/menopause diagnosis, indicating the transition is vastly under-recognized and undertreated in real-world claims data.",
