Since every woman experiences perimenopause differently – with symptoms varying widely in type, intensity and duration – managing the transition is a challenge for both patients and healthcare providers. A new wearable device aims to help through better tracking. Peri, which garnered recognition at CES 2025 as an Innovation Awards honoree, uses a small sensor, worn just below the chest, to continuously monitor physiological changes through the skin. That data can offer women (and others assigned female at birth) unprecedented insight into their unique path through perimenopause.
According to Peri, vital signs related to perimenopause are more reliably captured on the torso than on the wrist as a smartwatch would. Using a proprietary adhesive, the device maintains contact with the skin for up to 10 days, gathering data that feeds into an accompanying app. In the app, women can track their symptoms, detect patterns and evaluate responses to any lifestyle changes they make. The goal is to transform raw measurements into actionable insights that women better understand and manage their symptoms.
The implications of this technology extend beyond individual users to the broader healthcare landscape. By generating detailed, shareable reports, Peri enables women to have more informed conversations with their healthcare providers about symptoms and treatment options. The device is scheduled to launch in the spring of 2025.
