HONG KONG/SINGAPORE, 17 October 2025 — Sol Menopause (“Spring of Life”), founded by Grace Oh, has launched the Sol app, Asia’s first medically reviewed menopause platform built specifically for women in the region. Combining clinical expertise with lived experience, Sol aims to tackle one of the most overlooked workplace and public health challenges: menopause.
The app’s mission extends beyond healthcare. By offering personalized, evidence-based, and culturally sensitive support, Sol empowers women to manage menopause with confidence — while helping employers address a US$150 billion global productivity loss tied to unmanaged menopausal symptoms.
Bringing Science, Empathy, and Scale to Women’s Health
Menopause affects 1.2 billion women worldwide, representing nearly one-third of the global female population. Yet, according to Sol, 80 percent of doctors receive little to no formal training on menopause, leaving many women unsupported during a crucial stage of life.
In the Asia-Pacific region, the issue is compounded by cultural stigma: 67 percent of women over 45 report that menopause symptoms disrupt their work, often driving experienced female talent to leave senior positions prematurely.
Sol’s digital solution provides confidential, medically-reviewed information and personalized tools that address physical and emotional health holistically. The app’s launch signals a new chapter in corporate wellness and gender-inclusive health technology, offering both individuals and organizations a scalable model for sustained support.
A Founder’s Mission Rooted in Personal Experience
Sol founder Grace Oh developed the platform after confronting her own challenges of being misunderstood and misdiagnosed during midlife transitions. A graduate of Dartmouth College and Harvard Business School, and a certified Menopause Champion, Oh left a successful finance career — where she was named by the Financial Times as one of Asia’s top equity analysts, to pioneer change in women’s health.
“There has been very little research on women’s health beyond fertility, and many women have been dismissed or misdiagnosed,” said Grace Oh. “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.”
Clinical Credibility and Holistic Support
Backed by an international panel of healthcare professionals, Sol has been medically reviewed by doctors including Dr. Tashiya Mirando, Family Physician and Menopause Lead at Osler Health International.
“Too many women navigate menopause feeling dismissed and without reliable support,” said Dr. Mirando. “Sol directly addresses this by providing trusted, medically-reviewed information and personalized 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.”
Key Features of the Sol App
- Three-Level Evidence Scorecard: Evaluates the safety and effectiveness of management options across conventional, lifestyle, and complementary medicine.
- Personalized Wellness Plans: Adaptive programs designed to support long-term behavioral change.

A Scalable Solution for Employers
Beyond individual users, Sol provides employers with practical frameworks to build menopause-inclusive policies. These resources help organizations improve retention, reduce absenteeism, and foster cultures of empathy and inclusivity.
By bridging healthcare, technology, and corporate strategy, Sol positions itself as a strategic wellness partner for companies seeking to future-proof their workforce and create healthier, more equitable workplaces.
Empowering Asia’s Workforce for a Healthier Future
The launch of Sol represents more than an app, it’s a signal of Asia’s growing recognition of women’s health as an economic imperative. With menopause affecting leadership continuity and productivity across industries, Sol’s model offers both social and financial value.
As Grace Oh puts it, “Empowering women to thrive through every life stage isn’t just good for health — it’s good for business.”
