“…In addition, many of the women confirmed that they did not know many of the consequences of menopause and recognized the usefulness of our project. We also confirmed the results of the study carried out by the Sungkyunkwan University [5] concerning the importance of personalized suggestions, usable tracking and data visualization, the support of friends and family, and the seal of approval of the app by healthcare professionals.…”

“…We found only one study that focuses on the HCI needs of women regarding a mobile app of personal use to manage menopause symptoms; this was conducted by the Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea [5]. This study employed focus group interviews (FGI) to gather information from middle-aged women regarding several potential functionalities identified a priori by the development team, mainly related to menstrual tracking and social network support.…”

Menopause is an inevitable natural transition in a woman's life. However, many women are not conscious of the changes related to menopause and the eventual consequences for their health. Given the prevalent daily-use of smartphones, a mobile app that empowers and coaches women before and after menopause is a promising solution to this issue. Because of the multidisciplinary nature of this project, we have used a participatory design approach during the early stages to elicit user requirements from the main stakeholders of the project as well as from several women in premenopause and menopause (potential end users). This approach has allowed us to understand which functionalities and interactions should be integrated into the app, based on direct input from both groups.

“…However, the emergence of Feminist HCI, that calls into question the grand, masculine-bias of the technological field and recognized the erasure of female perspectives in design [11,12], has heralded an increasing body of HCI design that addresses broader feminist domains. For example, work in women's health [38,51], maternal health [8,49,73], and motherhood [9,28] has gained increasing traction amongst designers. Equally, whilst design for reproductive rights more specifically is yet to have gained much attention within the field, considerably more HCI work has explored the intersection of activism and technology.…”

Despite the divisive nature of abortion within the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, where access to safe, legal abortion is severely restricted, effecting legislative reform demands widespread public support. In light of a building pro-choice counter-voice, this work contributes to a growing body of HCI research that takes an activist approach to design. We report findings from four design workshops with 31 pro-choice stakeholders across Ireland in which we positioned an exploratory protosite, HerStoryTold, to engender critical conversations around the use of sensitive abortion narratives as a tool for engagement. Our analysis shows how digital storytelling can help reject false narratives and raise awareness of the realities of abortion laws. It suggests design directions to curate narratives that provoke empathy, foster polyvocality, and ultimately expand the engaged community. Furthermore, this research calls for designers to actively support community mobilization through providing 'stepping stones' to activism.

“…This paper seeks to address this concern by examining computing tools in and around menopause. Building on a small but growing HCI literature on menopause [14,15,19,25], we sought to investigate this phase of life without applying an intervention. We describe our work in order to examine and extend the possibilities of designing for the menopausal experience through intimate and thoughtful computing.…”

With growing concern for the intimate dimensions of technology development, HCI scholars have begun to grapple with who wields power in design around the body. However, beyond menstruation, few studies have sought to examine the role of technology design in the later stages of life for menstruating people. This paper considers menopause as a central, but overlooked life phase informing the design of future intimate technologies. We review empirical analysis of menopausal experiences and design provocations that emerged from our work. We end with a reflection on the opportunities and pitfalls around menopause design.
