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 first-hand from interviews and real data, about the extent of hot flushes and the impact they have on women's health, professional lives and wellbeing.
We were upset 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 mid-life hormonal changes, stress, anxiety, or any of the many other reasons that people can suffer from hot flushes.
Our goal is to provide a non-invasive tool that puts thermal comfort back in people’s own hands and restores confidence and wellbeing
