Women’s health is more than physical.
What’s happening: Integrated women’s mental health platform FamilyWell Health closed a $8M Series A to expand into perimenopause and menopause care.
Well-timed. Working with health systems, FamilyWell embeds digital coaching and contextual teletherapy into clinical workflows to meet women’s life stage-specific needs.
Specializing in postpartum, 70% of members reach remission in four months. Supporting the entire reproductive life cycle, it’ll address anxiety, depression, and insomnia in midlifers.
On the mind. Women experience depression at 2x the rate of men, fueled by cognitive and hormonal changes during pregnancy and menopause.
Overlooked, suicide is the leading cause of postpartum maternal death, with just 4% of patients screened for it and the majority left untreated. Navigating aging, 70% of peri/menopausal women report significant mental health symptoms, yet under a third seek care.
In the clutch. Mental health platforms are tailoring support, with Mamaya Health landing $3M for a family-centered approach and Talkspace launching pathways via its Chapters program. Building an OS for “generational health,” Trellis tests, tracks, and treats women’s physiological changes.
Punchline: As operators rush to enter menopause, nuance is often lost. Designing mental healthcare around women’s biology, FamilyWell is acknowledging life’s ebbs and flows.
