Flutter helps women screen for endometriosis, a disease which can take 8 years to diagnose in the US.
Suffering from endometriosis, Brooklyn-based accomplished app developer Kristy Curry knew there was a more proactive way to monitor her health, work with her doctor, and track her cycle. It can take 8 years in the US to diagnose endometriosis and after spending years in pain, Curry realized she could use her iPhone as an information platform to track pain.
Now available in the app store, Flutter is a free iOS app that gives women a way to screen for endometriosis and other reproductive diseases without a doctor visit. Women can record their symptoms, moods and fluctuations over the course of their cycles by using Flutter’s Journal and Calendar features. When it does come time to visit the doctor, the information is easily exported to a PDF with one tap.
The app allows women to track symptoms, take a self-diagnosis test and find a doctor that specializes in endometriosis that can help.
Kristy describes the app by saying, “It’s a way to keep tabs on your health versus just going to your annual appointment like it is a mandatory oil change. I want the app to allow women to be in control of their health, to be proactive.”
Flutter takes a holistic approach to women’s reproductive health and the app, website, blog and Youtube channel provide nutritional guidance, exercise tips and relaxation techniques.
Kristy hopes to see the Flutter community grow into a supportive forum for women. “I want women to be empowered, proactive, and most of all, supportive. The more we talk about women’s reproductive health the faster we solve problems.”
Currently an Android version of the app is in development along with a community feature and clinician portal which connects women with their care team.
