Women’s health is at a pivotal moment, with growing concerns about the fairness of menopause care and many important questions still unanswered.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a term used in the UK to describe several different treatments that are used to treat the symptoms associated with menopause. While some newer HRT options might be safer than older ones, we do not have enough information about their effects, especially for women with complicated health issues.
Real-world data improves healthcare
If we can collect data on how treatments work in individual patients (real-world data), we can start to tackle this knowledge gap. This is what the Society for Endocrinology, in collaboration with our platform specialist PeopleWith, is doing through the Patient-Reported Outcomes for Menopause Management Intervention Study (PROMMIS). Imagine having a tool that allows you to contribute to your own health journey and improves care for future generations. That’s exactly what the PROMMIS study aims to do.

Tracking symptoms to improve tailored care
Using the PeopleWith app, women can track their symptoms to see how treatments work in everyday life outside of clinical trials. By gathering this information, it will help doctors gain a better understanding of how treatments work and tailor care to individual needs. This data can then be used to support innovative research to improve care in women’s health, including heart or blood vessel problems, diabetes and pre-diabetes.
An opportunity to be a part of something big
We are recruiting women to get involved soon. Speak to your healthcare professional on how to get involved.
