Problem
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) lacks laboratory tests, so diagnosis relies on prospective tracking of symptoms across menstrual cycles. Existing tools are either overly simplistic period trackers or cumbersome clinical forms, making daily, phase‑specific logging difficult and leading to long diagnostic delays.
Solution
Astrid offers a mobile journaling platform designed specifically for PMDD that prompts users with brief, empathetic check‑ins aligned to their current cycle phase (luteal, follicular, ovulation, menses). Users record symptoms, mood, and lifestyle factors in 2–3 minutes each day, and the app automatically organizes entries across two full cycles to reveal patterns. After two cycles, Astrid generates a clinician‑ready, fact‑based summary that highlights timing‑related symptom trends, enabling healthcare providers to apply diagnostic criteria more confidently. The solution bridges the diagnostic gap by turning personal daily data into a structured, shareable narrative.
Target Audience
Primary users are individuals assigned female at birth who experience PMDD symptoms and seek clearer insight, as well as clinicians (e.g., gynecologists, primary care physicians, mental health providers) who need structured prospective data for diagnosis.
