Sol Menopause (Spring of Life), founded by Grace Oh, has launched the Sol app, Asia’s first medically reviewed menopause platform designed specifically for women in Asia. Created in collaboration with healthcare professionals and shaped by real experiences, the app provides personalised, evidence-based, and culturally relevant support for women going through menopause. It also offers companies a scalable way to address one of the most overlooked workplace issues affecting productivity and talent retention.
Menopause is more than a health matter. It affects families, workplaces, and society, with significant financial implications. Globally, menopause is linked to an estimated US$150 billion in annual costs due to lost productivity and rising healthcare expenses. Around 1.2 billion women over the age of 45 now make up nearly a third of the global female population, yet 80 percent of doctors receive little or no training in menopause care. In Asia Pacific, where cultural stigma remains high, 67 percent of women in this age group report that symptoms disrupt their work, contributing to talent loss in senior roles and widening the leadership gender gap.
Redefining menopause care in Asia
The idea for Sol grew out of Grace Oh’s personal experience of being misunderstood and misdiagnosed during a major life transition. A graduate of Dartmouth College and Harvard Business School, and a certified Menopause Champion, Oh left a successful career in finance — where she was recognised by the Financial Times as one of Asia’s top equity analysts — to create a new model of menopause care tailored to women in Asia.
“There has been very little research on women’s health beyond fertility, and many women have been dismissed or misdiagnosed. With Sol, we are introducing Asia’s first medically reviewed menopause app that gives women access to trusted guidance while providing employers with a scalable solution to improve well-being and retention,” said Oh.
Dr Tashiya Mirando, Family Physician and Menopause Lead at Osler Health International and Medical Advisor to Sol, said, “Too many women navigate menopause feeling dismissed and without reliable support. Sol directly addresses this by providing trusted, medically reviewed information and personalised tools. This isn’t just about improving health outcomes; it’s about empowering women to thrive in every aspect of their lives, including the workplace.”
Tools and resources designed for women and employers
The Sol app delivers a comprehensive suite of features aimed at improving health outcomes for women while also equipping organisations to better support and retain their workforce. It includes a proprietary three-level scorecard that evaluates the safety and effectiveness of management options across conventional, lifestyle, and complementary medicine. Users can track their symptoms confidentially and access evidence-based guidance tailored to their needs.
The app also offers personalised wellness plans and short, structured programmes designed to support sustainable lifestyle changes. A shareable health report helps streamline medical consultations by summarising key symptoms and health data, while a practitioner map connects users to trusted doctors and specialists across Asia. Additionally, an expert-led content series provides practical strategies to help women manage symptoms and build confidence in their daily lives.
Beyond individual support, Sol helps companies create menopause-inclusive workplace policies and build a supportive environment for employees navigating this stage of life. By tackling both the personal and professional impacts of menopause, organisations can reduce productivity losses, strengthen retention, and build more inclusive leadership pipelines.
The Sol app is now available on iOS.
