Everything you need to know about Lunalta and how it supports your menopause journey
Lunalta is a digital tool that helps you track, understand, and learn about your symptoms during perimenopause and menopause. It combines symptom logging with personalized information drawn from trusted medical sources, helping you have clearer, more informed conversations with your healthcare provider.
Lunalta is designed for anyone experiencing perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms, whether you're just noticing changes, actively managing symptoms, or seeking clarity about what you're going through. Lunalta is equally built for any woman who wants to systematically track and document her symptoms to lead a highly focused, data-driven conversation with her healthcare provider.
You can log: - Symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, mood changes, and more) - Sleep quality and patterns - Mood and emotional health - Potential triggers (stress, diet, activity) Lunalta uses validated health questionnaires, the same ones used in clinical practice, to help you monitor your symptoms over time.
Lunalta includes three clinically validated tools: - Menopause Rating Scale (MRS): measures the severity of menopause symptoms (license pending) - PHQ-9: screens for symptoms of depression - GAD-7: screens for symptoms of anxiety These are optional but recommended. They help you and your healthcare provider understand the full picture of your health.
Ask Lunalta is a conversational feature that answers your questions using information drawn exclusively from trusted medical sources, including The Menopause Society (formerly NAMS) and other recognized clinical guidelines. When you ask a question, Lunalta retrieves relevant information from these sources and provides a response with references you can verify. You can toggle references on or off depending on your preference. Ask Lunalta remembers your health profile and symptom history, so responses are relevant to your situation, without ever diagnosing or prescribing.
