Pattern Card
Anonymous. Facts in, a working picture out. No self-selected “stage.” Under 40 is a different pathway. Pregnancy is checked before peri is discussed.

Perimenopause and menopause can change sleep, temperature, mood, cycles, energy and concentration — often before the pattern is obvious. Surgical and medically induced menopause are part of the same companion.
Meridian keeps a private record on your device, compares today with your own baseline, and turns months of change into one page you can take to a clinician.
No menopause score. No diagnosis. No prescription engine.
“Something is happening to my body and I don’t understand it.”
That is the first question. The product is the years after it.Context for why a multi-year record matters. Not a market forecast.
Meridian
Private by default. Personal over time. One page for the doctor. No score pretending to be a diagnosis.
The Pattern Card takes two minutes and does not ask her to self-label a stage. If that is all she ever uses, it is still more honest than a quiz that ends in “buy our vitamins.”
Perimenopause can last several years. Most clinic visits last minutes. Existing apps already count hot flashes. Almost none hold a longitudinal picture, an evidence spine, and a page a clinician can actually use.
In otherwise healthy people 45 and over, the picture is often clinical. Meridian does not invent a blood-test score to look more medical than it is.
| Usual app | Meridian | |
|---|---|---|
| Opening move | Log a hot flash | “What is happening to me, and what next?” |
| Memory | A calendar | A twin that compares today with her own baseline |
| Clinic | A PDF of ticks | One page: change, experiments, what to discuss |
| Model | Chat that has not read her year | Rules first. Optional model last, and only the fields she ticks |
| Business | Ads beside advice | No pharmaceutical pitch inside the engine |
Anonymous. Facts in, a working picture out. No self-selected “stage.” Under 40 is a different pathway. Pregnancy is checked before peri is discussed.
The on-device diary. Clusters, change against your baseline, experiments marked as hypotheses. Sequence matters more than a single bad night.
Safety Brain first — sliders never invent emergencies. Evidence cards second. An advanced model is planned later, behind a consent sheet. It is not on today.
One printed page. The weekly reason to open Meridian. Built so a twelve-minute visit starts with the year, not the parking lot.
Meridian Signals is not “import your watch.” It is a second observational layer under the diary. Your own symptoms stay primary. If the ring says the night was good and you say it was terrible, both stay on the record.
A website cannot read HealthKit or Health Connect. Those need a thin native shell and a MeridianHealthBridge. The PWA stays. The first wearable feature is sleep around nights you already marked — not a hot-flash detector, not an HRV menopause biomarker, not a score of 61.
Common schema. Health Connect and HealthKit in native shells. Six fields only.
Subjective + sleep, resting HR, temperature deviation from your baseline.
One tap: hot flash or night sweat. Exact time. Then look around the event.
No algorithm that “found” a hot flash. No readiness score as ground truth.
AES-GCM vault in this browser. Optional PIN. Core diary: no Meridian account and no Meridian cloud.
The microphone is off unless the browser can transcribe on-device. There is no silent cloud fallback.
Backup is a file. No PIN means anyone with the file can open it. We say that before you download.
English, anywhere. Fourteen days or more. That is the current product.
Meridian is education and self-tracking. It does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. For chest pain, fainting, soaking-pad bleeding, or thoughts of self-harm, use local emergency or crisis services.
