Project Overview
The majority of the period apps available on the market tend to be more than just a period trackers. Some products promote suggested content in an intrusive way, while others show an increased amount of commercials, to the extend that the user is not able to use the basic features without upgrading to a paid plan.
The goal
The key objectives of the product are:

Menstrual Cycle Tracking

Users should accurately track the start and end dates of their menstrual cycles.

Fertility Tracking

The app can offer features to help users track their fertility, such as predicting ovulation days and fertile windows. This can be useful for those trying to conceive or avoid pregnancy.

Reminders and Notifications

The app can provide customisable reminders and notifications for upcoming periods, fertile days, and other relevant events.

Data privacy and Security

The app should implement robust data protection measures, including secure storage and transmission of personal information.
These objectives aim to create a user-friendly and comprehensive period tracker app that empowers individuals to understand and manage their menstrual health effectively.

User Research

In order to understand and identify users’ needs and pain points, I collected qualitative data from 9 Romanian women, aged 20 to 35, from urban and sub-urban areas.

Tool used: Google Forms

Key Findings

What do users want?

Data Safety

Privacy and better control over users data

As for the users who were not using a period trackers app at the moment of the survey, the main reason is related to privacy and data safety - they fear that their data might be compromised, sold or exposed to third parties.
