Pattern Card
Anonymous. Facts in, a working picture out. No self-selected “stage.” Under 40 is a different pathway. Pregnancy is checked before peri is discussed.
On-device · Global English · Local care numbers
On-device diary. Patterns against your own baseline. One page for a short clinic visit. Safety before any model.
“Something is happening to my body and I don’t understand it.”
That is the first question. The product is the years after it.Demand is not the missing piece. Memory is.
Meridian
Private by default. Personal over time. One page for the doctor. No score pretending to be a diagnosis.
The Pattern Card takes two minutes and does not ask her to self-label a stage. If that is all she ever uses, it is still more honest than a quiz that ends in “buy our vitamins.”
Perimenopause can last several years. Most clinic visits last minutes. Existing apps count hot flashes. Almost none hold a longitudinal picture and a page a clinician can use.
In otherwise healthy people 45 and over, the picture is often clinical. Meridian does not invent a blood-test score to look more medical than it is.
| Usual app | Meridian | |
|---|---|---|
| Opening move | Log a hot flash | “What is happening to me, and what next?” |
| Memory | A calendar | A twin that compares today with her own baseline |
| Clinic | A PDF of ticks | One page: change, experiments, what to discuss |
| Model | Chat that has not read her year | Rules first. Optional model last, and only the fields she ticks |
| Business | Ads beside advice | No pharmaceutical pitch inside the engine |
Anonymous. Facts in, a working picture out. No self-selected “stage.” Under 40 is a different pathway. Pregnancy is checked before peri is discussed.
The on-device diary. Clusters, change against your baseline, experiments marked as hypotheses. Sequence matters more than a single bad night.
Safety Brain first — sliders never invent emergencies. Evidence cards second. An optional model later, and only the fields you tick leave the phone.
One printed page. The weekly reason to open Meridian. Built so a twelve-minute visit starts with the year, not the parking lot.
If the twin is useless from a log, a watch will not save it.
Sleep, resting heart rate, steps. You see every field before it enters the model.
Native shell. Optional temperature and HRV. Still on this device.
No wearable “menopause score.” No vendor model above Safety.
AES-GCM vault in this browser. Optional PIN. Typed chat does not leave the device unless you opt into Advanced.
The microphone is off unless the browser can transcribe on-device. There is no silent cloud fallback.
Backup is a file. No PIN means anyone with the file can open it. We say that before you download.
English, anywhere. Fourteen days or more. That is the current product.
Meridian is education and self-tracking. It does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. For chest pain, fainting, soaking-pad bleeding, or thoughts of self-harm, use local emergency or crisis services.
