A strength programme you can recommend, and a report she can bring you
Shatavi is doctor-built strength training for women in perimenopause and menopause. Here is what it does, what it doesn't, and what your patient's health report shows.
What Shatavi is, and isn't
It is
- An educational fitness-guidance app for women, mostly 45 to 60.
- Progressive resistance training, 15 to 40 minutes a session, at home or in a gym, assigned from a short intake quiz that includes safety questions.
- Adjusted session by session to her reported effort, energy and symptoms, with the reason shown to her each time.
- Stopped, with signposting, when she reports chest pain, fainting, palpitations or shortness of breath.
It isn't
- A medical device. It doesn't diagnose, interpret symptoms, or advise on treatment.
- A questionnaire or a score. Nothing it records is a validated instrument.
- A consultation. No clinician sees her data through the app.
- A replacement for your judgement. If an intake answer suggests she should check with you before training, the app tells her so.
What she can show you at a follow-up
The health report is her own dated record, which she shares with you herself, when she chooses. It covers:
- Consistency: the sessions she completed, week by week.
- Strength: the weights she logged for each exercise over time.
- Wellbeing: energy, sleep and felt strength, each rated 1 to 5 by her in a weekly check-in.
Symptom sections join the report once their wording has been through clinical review. Until then the report leaves them out and says so.
The app only knows what she chose to record, so a day with nothing recorded is not a symptom-free day. The weekly ratings are her own answers from 1 to 5; there are no scores and no interpretation.How the report states its denominator

Every rule is signed by a doctor
Our clinical lead, a doctor, wrote and signed off the parts of Shatavi that decide what you're asked to do:
- The rules for when your plan holds steady, adds weight, or eases off.
- The symptoms the app asks about, and what it offers for each one.
- The stop for serious symptoms, and exactly what it says to you.
Doctor-built means the rules are a doctor's. It doesn't mean a doctor sees your data or gives you advice through the app: for that, your own doctor is the right person.
How a clinic can recommend it
Today
Shatavi is launching on iPhone and Android. Patients can join early access on this site, and we'll email them when it's ready.
Clinic codes
We're preparing a clinic code and a printable QR handout. A code lets us count sign-ups per clinic. No clinic is ever told which patients joined, unless a patient shares her own report.
Review the report with us
We're looking for a few menopause-specialist GPs to review a sample report before its next version: what you'd want in front of you at a follow-up, and what's missing.
