We are inviting stakeholders to take part in a national priority-setting study exploring how FemTech and patient-generated health data (from symptom-tracking apps and wearables) can be better integrated into clinical care in Ireland. The study focuses on womenโs health, including menstrual health conditions (e.g., endometriosis, PCOS, PMDD), chronic conditions (e.g., migraine, dysautonomia), and the peri-menopause/menopause transition.

This study uses a three-stage online priority-setting process (e-Delphi method) from February to March 2026. We are seeking stakeholders who can commit to all three stages.
We are currently seeking ~35 stakeholders for Stage 1, who will share their perspectives in an online survey. Those selected will be asked to take part in all three stages, as each stage builds on the previous one.

Individuals assigned female at birth with lived experience of menstrual or chronic conditions or menopause, who track symptoms.
Healthcare professionals, researchers, patient advocates, policymakers, or FemTech professionals with relevant expertise.
๐๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ถ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐:
All stakeholders must be aged 18+. We aim for a balanced mix of perspectives in Stage 1.

Stage 1: Online Survey (12โ26 Feb 2026)
Stage 2: Online Survey (16โ30 Mar 2026)
Stage 3: Webinar & Final Online Survey (12 May 2026, 6:30โ8:30 pm)
If Stage 1 quotas are filled, you may join subsequent stages and attend the webinar to score and rank priorities.
