For decades, perimenopause has been treated like a mystery—a foggy, often frustrating stage of life that women are expected to quietly “power through.” But one tech company is changing that narrative in the most groundbreaking way.
IdentifyHer, the AI-driven women’s health company on a mission to close the gender health data gap, has unveiled Peri, the world’s first wearable designed specifically to detect and decode the symptoms of perimenopause. Recently named a 2025 CES Innovation Awards Honoree in Digital Health, Peri is now available for U.S. pre-order ahead of its December launch (it costs $449 and it is FSA/HSA eligible), and it’s poised to change how women understand, track and care for their bodies during this critical life stage.
“Seventy-five percent of women experience life-disrupting symptoms during perimenopause, yet we’re often told it’s just something to ‘get through,’” says Heidi Davis, CEO and co-founder of IdentifyHer. “With Peri, we’re rejecting that outdated mindset. Women deserve real data, validation and support. This is about giving women control of their health—physically, mentally and emotionally.”
Using proprietary biosensing technology and AI-powered analytics, the discreet wearable tracks key physiological signals, then translates them into clear, personalized insights. The result? You can see what’s happening in your body, understand your symptom patterns and make informed choices about how to manage them—whether through lifestyle tweaks, supplements or conversations with your healthcare provider.
Unlike other wearables that focus on general wellness, Peri is the first to automatically detect and interpret perimenopause-specific patterns. It doesn’t just track, but also teaches, mapping symptoms across the menstrual cycle, revealing how they interact and evolve.
“From the start, our mission has been to support women’s long-term health,” adds Donal O’Gorman, PhD, COO and co-founder of IdentifyHer. “But we quickly realized we couldn’t do that without filling the massive data gap around perimenopause. With Peri, we’re demystifying the experience and empowering women to feel seen, understood and supported.”
That support is sorely needed. Research shows that 70 percent of women seeking medical help for perimenopausal symptoms receive no effective treatment, and 84 percent report not being believed. Until now, managing perimenopause has depended largely on self-reporting—subjective, inconsistent and easy to lose track of. Peri removes the guesswork, offering objective data that women can use to advocate for themselves and make confident health decisions.
