Sol Menopause (Spring of Life) has announced the launch of the Sol app, a medically reviewed menopause app in Asia, developed and built in Singapore specifically for women in the region. Created in close collaboration with local and international healthcare professionals and informed by lived experiences, the app delivers personalised, evidence-based, and culturally relevant support. Menopause is not only a workplace issue but one that touches families, communities, and society as a whole, making accessible support all the more vital. The app also helps employers address one of today’s most overlooked workplace challenges.
The impact of menopause in the workplace is often invisible but deeply felt. In Singapore, a white paper by the NUS Bia-Echo Asia Centre found that nearly three-quarters of women over 45 experienced at least two menopause symptoms that interfered with their ability to work and reduced overall quality of life. Yet many remain unsupported, as stigma and silence continue to dominate conversations in both medical and workplace settings.
Midlife is also a critical window for intervention. As women transition through menopause, their risks for chronic conditions, including cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, diabetes, and Osteoporosis, begin to rise. In an ageing society like Singapore, where women often shoulder caregiving responsibilities for both older and younger generations, supporting their health has a wider ripple effect. By addressing symptoms early and empowering women to take charge of their well-being, Sol aims to reduce preventable health burdens while helping women thrive, at home, at work, and for the long haul.
Grace Oh founded Sol Menopause after her own experience of being misunderstood and misdiagnosed during important life transitions. A graduate of Dartmouth College and Harvard Business School and a certified Menopause Champion, she left a successful career in finance, where she was recognised by the Financial Times as one of Asia’s top equity analysts, to pioneer a new model of care.
“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 a 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 Grace.
