Just like Activity, Body, Heart, and Sleep are essential aspects of health, Menstrual Health is equally significant for women. In fact, it holds the potential to unveil new health insights for half of our 6 million users.

Over the years, our users have consistently expressed the need for a comprehensive cycle tracking experience within the Withings app, enabling them to access all their health data in one place. Withings aimed to deliver this feature in a manner that surpasses the capabilities of existing Menstrual Health apps. To achieve this, we sought to introduce innovative devices that would supercharge the cycle tracking experience.


I led the end-to-end design (sole contributor) of this experience alongside Product Mangers Inna Ndaw (U-Scan) and Léonard Devincre (App).

At CES 2023, Withings introduced its groundbreaking device, U-Scan—an at-home lab that discreetly and automatically analyzes urine. U-Scan serves as a versatile platform, aligning with various health goals based on the installed cartridge. Our initial focus was on Cycle Syncing, where U-Scan determines the cycle phase, enabling the Withings app to offer personalized missions for workouts, recipes, and articles, addressing and preventing symptoms.

Furthermore, our September 2023 release showcased the latest ScanWatch generation, emphasizing Cycle Logging as a pivotal feature. The "Light" model places a particular emphasis on this functionality, solidifying its status as a key selling point.
