EQUIL-M is a precision Decision Support System that translates what you feel every day into data your specialist can actually use — bridging the gap between patient-reported outcomes and objective physiological markers.
EQUIL-M is designed to serve as a data-driven Decision Support System for specialists treating the perimenopausal and menopausal transition. It provides a longitudinal, data-rich overview to inform personalized care pathways.
EQUIL-M digitizes the established Blatt-Kupperman Menopausal Index, enhancing its utility through a weighted digital framework.
The core of EQUIL-M: normalizing subjective symptom reports with objective PPG-derived physiological indices.
From smartphone-based captures (30-60s), EQUIL-M prioritizes cardiovascular markers with high signal-to-noise ratios.
EQUIL-M does not replace expert judgment; it provides the quantitative evidence required to refine it.
Rate seven key symptoms on a simple scale. Hot flashes, sleep, mood, brain fog, fatigue, joint pain, and libido — as they happen, not days later from memory.
Hold your finger over your phone camera. EQUIL-M measures your resting heart rate and heart rate variability — no wearable needed.
The Integrated Severity Index blends your symptoms with your heart data, giving your doctor a single reliable number — not a vague "I've been feeling off."
Your specialist sees weeks or months of longitudinal data, not just how you felt that morning. Consultations become more focused, more personal, more useful.
Vasomotor symptoms. The most clinically significant marker — tracked with 4× weighting because of their direct hormonal link.
How well you're actually sleeping. Disrupted sleep compounds everything else and is a key signal for neurological impact.
Anxiety, irritability, low mood. Tracked alongside neurological markers because emotional shifts often precede physiological ones.
Concentration, memory, mental clarity. One of the most under-reported symptoms and one of the most commonly dismissed.
Not just tiredness — the persistent, bone-deep exhaustion that doesn't resolve with rest and affects daily function.
Oestrogen plays a key role in joint health. Musculoskeletal symptoms are often the first physical sign of the perimenopause.
Changes in sexual desire and comfort. Tracked sensitively as a urogenital marker — important, valid, and frequently overlooked.
RHR deviation, heart rate recovery, and RMSSD trend from your 30-second phone reading — the objective layer that gives your symptoms physiological weight.
The dashboard highlights patients with significant physiological-symptom correlation, allowing specialists to quickly identify those most likely to benefit from lifestyle or supportive interventions.
Identifies "mismatches" — high subjective distress with stable physiological markers — prompting the specialist to explore metabolic health, thyroid function, or nutritional deficiencies common in the urban Indian demographic.
Provides clear, objective evidence of how a patient's cardiovascular markers respond to specific dosages or tailored physical therapy — Heart Rate Recovery plotted over time as a benchmark for intervention effectiveness.
If ISI scores are persistently high and validated by heart data, your specialist is alerted to fast-track your review rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
Note: This simplified score uses symptom data only. The full EQUIL-M system integrates your heart data for a clinically validated ISI score that your specialist can act on.
Rate each symptom over the last 7 days (0 = none, 4 = very severe)
