Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Co-Founder for a new start up

Company: Lulu Health

Location: Copenhagen, Denmark

About Us:

Lulu Health is an innovative HealthTech startup dedicated to revolutionizing menstrual cycle tracking. Our combined product consists of a wearable and app, designed to provide users with real-time cycle insights and actionable data. In short, we want to make data-driven cycle tracking accessible and a 'must-do' for every modern woman with a simple, accurate and convenient product.

Problem: With hormonal diseases and infertility on the rise, women today are more interested than ever in tracking and understanding their menstrual cycle - but current options are either inaccurate, expensive or not aesthetic. ~80% of women don't know when they ovulate and therefore cannot distinguish the different phases of their menstrual cycle apart; with the menstrual cycle being a woman's 5th vital sign, this results in women missing out on key health information. At the same time, there is growing awareness that women's health until now has been neglected and modern women are starting to demand better solutions and empowering information to guide them in making healthy life choices & prevent disease.

At Lulu Health, we are revolutionizing menstrual cycle tracking.
