Why We Created Joan

Frustrated by existing solutions that cater to the male 24-hour cycle and the lack of information about women's health, we decided to create a platform that allows women to take control of their own wellbeing.

Created by two Harvard grads with medical and hardware experience, Joan is designed for women by women, prioritizing the 28-day biological rhythms that influence our daily lives.

Joan is built to support women throughout the different phases of their lives, including post-partum recovery, perimenopause, and menopause. The device tracks, analyzes, and empowers you to take control of your well-being.

Think of us as your friend Dr. Joan helping you navigate and optimize the different phases of life.
