Developing a Mood and Menstrual Tracking App for People With Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder: User-Centered Design Study

Developing a Mood and Menstrual Tracking App for People With Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder: User-Centered Design Study

It is defined as the sudden onset of severe changes in emotional, cognitive, and behavioral functioning during the late luteal phase of the menstrual cycle (ie, the 7‐10 d before the onset of menstrual bleeding). Symptoms subside within a few days of the onset of menses [2] and are significantly distressing, with 30% of people with PMDD attempting to commit suicide in their lifetime according to a survey [3].

Importantly, few of the available menstrual pain apps are designed specifically for adolescents [16] who may have different menstrual knowledge [3], menstrual cycle characteristics [17], and app use preferences than adults. Consequently, adolescents may benefit from an app designed specifically for their age group [10,18,19].

Multimodal Recruitment to Study Ovulation and Menstruation Health: Internet-Based Survey Pilot Study

The disorder is characterized by clinical or biochemical androgen excess, menstrual irregularity, and the presence of polycystic ovarian morphology on ultrasound visualization [5]. Clinical androgen excess typically presents as acne, hirsutism, or androgenic alopecia [6-8]. Women with polycystic ovary syndrome may also experience infertility, insulin resistance, and obesity [9-12].
