Context
Endometriosis is a chronic disease, poorly understood by doctors and underdiagnosed, which affects approximately 10% of women of childbearing age, i.e. 1.5 to 2.5 million women in France. Complex disease with varied symptoms depending on the women affected, it most often results in pain during menstruation, sexual intercourse, and pelvic pain. It’s also a frequent source of infertility.
Due to its multiple symptoms, endometriosis is a disease that is still too little known, whether among healthcare professionals, but more widely within our society. On a daily basis, the difficulty for women affected by endometriosis is to understand and learn how to manage the pain with multiple origins. To do this, they must tediously write down everything and transcribe this information to their doctor for analysis. The other major issue is the lack of information about the disease.
Goals
Two female doctors, specialists in endometriosis and themselves suffering from the disease, decided in 2020 to launch a digital tool that would facilitate the process of taking notes on the pain and symptoms for women with endometriosis. This tool would also provide them with quality information to help them better understand the disease.
