Juliet Oliver's experience of severe endometriosis lead her to creating an app designed to help women use and track data and daily habits to help manage what can be a debilitating condition. She had stage 4 endometriosis - an inflammatory disease, with symptoms including period and pelvic pain, subfertility and infertility.
An estimated one in 10 New Zealand women live with endometriosis and there is no cure for it. When confronted with the challenge of the condition, the systems engineer decided to apply her problem-solving skills, research, and lived experience to develop a tool, Endo45 to empower sufferers. She's currently crowdfunding on PledgeMe to raise funds to expand awareness and the app’s capabilities.
