MyCelsius was born out from this question.
Early in our journey, we were incubated by BUPA through their Eco-Disruptive program and were connected to their internal menopause support group. We had the opportunity to learn more first-hand from qualitative and quantitative interviews the extent, about the extent of hot flushes impact on women's health, professional lives and wellbeing.
We were pissed off at the lack of readily available solutions for a challenge that affects 80% of half of the world's population at some point in their lives. This is why we set out on our mission:
To create a wearable cooling bracelet, designed with and for women who struggle with hot flushes, may that be due to hormonal changes like during menopause, but also stress, anxiety, or other conditions that can trigger hot flushes.
Our goal is to give those who suffer from hot flushes a non-invasive tool that puts back thermal comfort in their own hands and restores their confidence and wellbeing.
