Our Mission

At Cysterapp, our mission is clear: to deliver inclusive, data-driven hormonal health support—without the fluff or narrow focus on fertility. We’re rewriting the story around PCOS and women’s health in the UK by offering tools and resources that reflect every experience, regardless of gender identity or personal goals.

• Prevalence & Impact
  PCOS affects approximately 1 in 10 women in the UK—that’s over 3 million people—and an estimated 6–13% of reproductive-aged individuals worldwide, with up to 70% undiagnosed who.int. In the UK alone, millions are living without answers or support for symptoms like irregular cycles and fatigue.
   
• Mental Health Toll
  Beyond physical symptoms, studies indicate a heightened risk of depression, anxiety, and even suicide attempts among people with PCOS market.ustheguardian.com. We aim to address these intricate connections—mental, physical, emotional—with empathy and empathy-driven tech.
   
• Market Opportunity & Growth
  The UK women’s health market generated $2.15 bn in 2024 and is projected to reach $3.08 bn by 2030, growing at 5.7% annually pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov+15grandviewresearch.com+15grandviewresearch.com+15. Meanwhile, the global women’s health app sector is poised to grow from $5.76 bn in 2025 to over $25 bn by 2034 (a CAGR of ~18%) coherentmarketinsights.com+4towardshealthcare.com+4washingtonpost.com+4market.us+1precedenceresearch.com+1. Despite this, most fertility and period-tracking apps neglect PCOS-specific needs, non-binary and trans experiences, or holistic mental health.
   

What We're Building

1. Inclusivity at the Core
   Every feature—from symptom tracking to educational content—is designed for all people affected by PCOS, regardless of gender identity or reproductive goals.
    
2. Evidence-Based Tools
   We provide symptom, cycle, mood, and trigger tracking that empowers users with meaningful insights—grounded in data, not diet culture.
    
3. Holistic Health & Community
   Addressing mental health, peer support, and long-term well-being, not just symptoms or fertility.
    
4. Ethical by Design
   No shame-based tactics. No pink-washing. No pseudo-science. Just real facts, real people, real support.
    

Vision

We envision a future where every person with PCOS in the UK—and beyond—feels:

• Seen and understood by health tools that reflect their lived experience
   
• Equipped to manage symptoms with confidence and clarity
   
• Connected to a community rooted in empathy, not judgement
   
• Empowered to advocate for themselves in every medical setting
   

By 2030, we aim to reach tens of thousands of UK users, influence improved PCOS care, and shift the narrative in women’s health—moving from stigma and silence to insight and solidarity.
