New Digital Platform Aims to Empower Women Navigating Menopause
Pohang Tong,South Korea – A new digital health platform,Nuzevik,is expanding access to expert-led menopause care,responding to a growing market and demand for personalized support during this frequently enough-challenging life stage. Founded by Dr. Jessica Shepherd, Nuzevik offers patients direct access to healthcare professionals specializing in hormone therapy and menopausal management, aiming to bridge gaps in traditional care.

The platform’s approach focuses on long-term health management,recognizing that menopause can significantly impact a woman’s well-being for a decade or more. “It’s long past time for women to feel in control of their health, but they’re making it accessible and empowering,” Dr. shepherd stated.
Nuzevik’s emergence also addresses a critical need for improved management of perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms, which Dr.Shepherd notes are frequently enough dismissed or inadequately addressed.”We can have perimenopausal and menopausal changes, but they are debilitating and not managing it too much,” she explained.
