Apple and Harvard on Tuesday released a preliminary study update on the Apple Women s Health Study, offering insights on women and their menstrual symptoms. The study could help advance the science around women s health and help destigmatize menstruation, according to researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The preliminary data we are sharing today suggests women across the country have a shared experience of a wide range of menstrual symptoms, and that this natural monthly occurrence is something we should be having more discussions about, said Dr. Shruthi Mahalingaiah, one of the study s principal investigators, in a release.
