Clarity for cycle-based mental heatlh

A research-informed tool for tracking PMDD and related mood symptoms

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) affects nearly 3-8% of women of reproductive age worldwide. Cycle-based mood disorders like PMDD remain underdiagnosed, misunderstood, and difficult to communicate in clinical settings. Many women experience debilitating emotional symptoms that follow a clear hormonal pattern—but lack tools that accurately capture this over time.

Maren was created to bridge that gap. By combining structured daily check-ins with cycle-anchored tracking, Maren helps users identify patterns, generate meaningful summaries, and support clearer conversations with healthcare providers.

Why Maren?

About the project

What is Maren?

Maren is a cycle-aware mood tracking platform designed specifically for PMDD and related disorders. Users log daily emotional, physical, and social symptoms, anchored to their menstrual cycle, allowing patterns to emerge across time—not just isolated days.

The platform generates structured summaries and visual trends that can be used for self-understanding, clinical discussions, and future research applications. Maren is designed with privacy, consent, and ethical data use at its core.

Who is it for?

• Individuals experiencing PMDD or cycle-related mood changes
• Clinicians seeking clearer symptom histories
• Researchers interested in menstrual-cycle mental health
• Patients who want data, not dismissal
