Mumbai: The latest survey by Noise, India’s leading smartwatch and connected lifestyle brand, reveals that 82 per cent of women recognize they have menstrual health issues, indicating high self-awareness. However, less than 7 per cent of women have received education about these issues, highlighting a significant gap in education and access to accurate information. This reflects the notable challenges faced by the women’s health industry, particularly in menstrual health. Many women struggle with irregular periods, PCOS, and other menstrual-related issues that often go unrecognized or unaddressed due to a lack of education and societal taboos. Additionally, these issues are often missed by traditional health trackers.
The survey with ~ 1200 women was conducted by the brand to better understand the current state of menstrual health education, the challenges women face, and to identify the gaps that need to be addressed.
