Menstrual tracking apps lack evidence of health benefits, researchers say
Original: Menstrual tracking apps lack evidence of health and performance benefits
Researchers report that menstrual and cycle-tracking apps, widely used for health monitoring and athletic performance, are not supported by solid scientific evidence of benefits. The review found little clinical validation behind claims that tracking cycles improves wellbeing, health outcomes or performance. The findings raise questions about how millions of users, especially athletes and women managing health conditions, interpret the data these apps provide.
Why now: New research questioning the effectiveness of widely used menstrual tracking apps has drawn attention to unproven health claims.
