Overcoming challenges: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent reproductive disorder that primarily affects the ovaries, impacting almost 6-15% of women of reproductive age. Characterized by its widespread occurrence, PCOS poses challenges in diagnosis, with existing treatments but no definitive cure currently available.
In the absence of a cure, "EmpowHer" seeks to empower women dealing with PCOS by providing essential resources for control and management until a permanent solution is discovered.

The identified problem areas in the EmpowHer case study revolve around the multifaceted challenges faced by women dealing with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or Polycystic Ovarian Disorder (PCOD). Through interviews and secondary research, our investigation revealed several critical issues:
CHALLENGES
PCOS lacks a cure, necessitating ongoing research for improved treatments.
Limited public awareness of PCOS hinders diagnosis, management, and well-being.
PCOS management often overlooks mental health challenges, impacting overall well-being.
OPPORTUNITIES
Empower women with PCOS to take charge of their overall health journey, including both physical and mental well-being.
Enhancing accessibility to support systems and resources can empower individuals with PCOS to effectively manage their condition.
Shift towards proactive and holistic management strategies for PCOS can optimize treatment outcomes and improve quality of life.
To address identified challenges, we brainstormed solutions, built user personas, and crafted storyboards. We then utilized affinity mapping to analyze insights and defined project features, ensuring the proposed solution effectively met user needs.
