    I raised this over a year ago and still nothing. I noticed they have some type of pregnancy tracking with the new update - why not one for menstrual cycles which affects far more people that a pregnancy one!

    Yes indeed. I did have to chuckle at the email that came in from Withings yesterday "Celebrating women's health & International Heart Day on September 29"...oh well. Maybe it'll appear at some point...

    100% they need this as it's part of health! Also easy to help track those who want to get pregnant with some of the things that are already measured. I also have a separate app to track but would love all my health to be in one app!

    I think I will change to another activity tracker vendor that offers the menstrual tracker option.

    Adding to this

    How about implementing a simple calendar to allow people who menstruate to log their data? Spoiler alert, menstruations turn out to be major part of health, as the World Health Organisation stated it (https://www.who.int/news/item/22-06-2022-who-statement-on-menstrual-health-and-rights). Women represent 49.7% of the world population (https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.POP.TOTL.FE.ZS), and more specifically people who menstruate represent  26% of the global population, which makes it around 1.8 billion people menstruating every month worldwide, meaning at a given point each day, 800 million women and girls menstruate (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10014781/#:~:text=Around%201.8%20billion%20people%20menstruate,26%25%20of%20the%20global%20population.)

    My question is: CAN WE PLEASE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION 26%, aka a quarter, OF THE POPULATION MONTHLY HEALTH EXPERIENCE AS ACTUAL DATA IN THE APP? It is a simple request really, a calendar with manual log of the dates.

    And please refrain from answering things like :

    - " we entirely understand your demand of adding a period tracker in Health Mate. "

    - "at Withings, (we) want to create health devices and apps that are the most inclusive possible."

    - "I have shared your request to our developers and would like to tell you that they consider it a serious matter as well"

    We know it is not true because if it was, Withings would have done something about it since the request for this functionally clock back to at leat 4 years ago on this forum.

    Thank you,

    A member of the 26% population.

    Meanwhile i switched to garmin venu s2. For them it is no problem to implementing a period calender. And because i am really lazy and i hate if i have to use multiple apps i will switch my bodyscale either... was really a "fan" of withings in the past...

    Dear Withings,

    I am currently looking for a hybrid smartwatch to track all my metrics in the same place. According to my research, Withings uses advanced and clinically validated technologies to analyze important health data - and the watches also look brilliant!

    However, I need to catch up on one crucial feature: PERIOD TRACKING. Hence, can you confirm if period tracking is still not included? As you commented on this issue 2 years ago, "I assure you that your feedback is taken seriously by our development team" I would like to know if this hasn't changed?

    Unfortunately, this would be a no-go for me to buy your Withings Scanwatch or Withings Steel HR.

    Indeed. I requested something simple like a calendar function about 2 years ago. But seems we have to purchase a… urine tracker? Seems unnecessarily complicated. But I guess it helps sale more gadgets to us…
