Give your perimenopausal patients the data to advocate for themselves.
79% of women visit a clinician with perimenopause symptoms. 44% wait over a year for help. SUMM gives your patients the data to make every consultation count — whether that is a GP, nurse practitioner, menopause specialist, or dietitian.

The consultation gap
Three reasons perimenopause is under-served in primary care.
7% of GPs feel confident
7%
Not because of lack of care. Because patients arrive unable to describe months of symptoms in 10 minutes, without objective data.
44% waited over a year
44%
Many patients presented multiple times before receiving a diagnosis. Jess's Rule now requires you to reconsider after 3 presentations. SUMM makes the third visit unnecessary.
Perimenopause is a clinical diagnosis
NICE guidance: diagnose on symptoms, not bloods, for women over 45. SUMM organises those symptoms into a structured longitudinal record.
What your patients bring to the appointment
After 14 days minimum on SUMM — the longer a patient tracks, the richer the report — your patient arrives with a one-page report that shows:
Daily symptom data (14 days minimum)
Hot flushes, mood changes, joint pain, brain fog, anxiety — logged daily with severity and timing. No more trying to recall a month of symptoms in the waiting room.
Sleep patterns
Duration, quality, night waking frequency, and correlation with cycle phase and evening nutrition. The report shows whether sleep disruption is cyclical.
Nutrition context
Phytoestrogen intake, caffeine, alcohol, hydration, and key micronutrients mapped against symptom severity. Patterns your patient cannot see on their own.
Trigger patterns
Algorithmically surfaced correlations between lifestyle factors and symptom flares. Presented as observations, not diagnoses — ready for clinical interpretation.
Your questions for the appointment
SUMM prompts patients to write down what they want to ask before they arrive. No more forgotten questions or post-appointment regret.
The clinical report
One page. Scannable in 2 minutes. Structured to NICE NG23.
The clinical report includes:
Symptom severity scores across 11 categories, logged daily over the tracking period
Sleep patterns: duration, night waking frequency, night sweat correlation
Cycle phase context where available
Work impact data: days symptoms affected ability to work, rated daily
Supplement and medication list
Patient’s own questions prepared before the appointment
Trend direction: improving, stable, or worsening across each symptom domain
Format: single page PDF, printable or shareable by email. No login required to receive. Generated from a minimum of 14 days of tracking.
Who this is for
GPs and practice nurses
Your patient arrives with structured longitudinal data instead of a verbal account from memory. NICE NG23 aligned. Designed to fit a 10-minute consultation.
Menopause specialists
Detailed symptom trajectories, cycle phase context, and work impact data. Useful for both initial assessment and follow-up monitoring.
Occupational health and dietitians
Nutrition context, supplement use, and professional stress data alongside symptom severity. Supports workplace and dietary intervention planning.

Get in touchSUMM is in active development. We are co-developing the platform with clinicians, not building it in isolation. If you work in primary care, menopause medicine, dietetics, or women's health research, we would welcome a conversation about how SUMM can support your patients and your practice. We are particularly interested in NHS pathway integration and academic research partnerships.
