The ideaWhat this actually is
A tracker built for suspected PMDD and severe PMS that runs the daily-rating protocol clinicians actually require (prospective scoring across two full cycles) and produces the clinician-ready report that turns years of dismissal into a diagnosis conversation. It is an information and tracking tool that supports the diagnostic process; it does not diagnose, and it points users to a clinician for evaluation. Diagnosis and care vary by individual and provider.
The opportunityWhy this idea works
PMDD is a recognized diagnosis whose confirmation requires something almost no one completes: prospective daily symptom ratings across at least two symptomatic cycles, because retrospective memory is unreliable. Patients show up describing their worst weeks, leave with a shrug, and cycle through years of misdiagnosis. General period apps track everything shallowly, but none is built around the specific diagnostic protocol and the specific artifact, a standardized daily-rating report, that makes a clinician take the pattern seriously.
The openingWhy this idea is overlooked
General period apps optimize for broad tracking, so the specific two-cycle prospective protocol and its clinician-ready report are nobody's focus. The need is intense but the condition is under-recognized, so the market is easy to underestimate. And building it responsibly means modeling standard clinical instruments and staying in the support-not-diagnose lane, which is more careful work than a generic tracker.
The buildWhat you need to build this
| You need | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Daily ratings on standard instruments | Modeling the standard clinical daily-rating instruments is what makes the data credible to a clinician. |
| Two-cycle prospective protocol | Confirmation requires prospective ratings across at least two symptomatic cycles, so the app is built around that timeline. |
| Cycle-phase mapping | Mapping symptoms to cycle phase is what reveals the pattern that distinguishes PMDD from general mood variation. |
| A clinician-ready report | The standardized two-cycle report is the artifact that turns a dismissed complaint into a diagnosis conversation. |
| A support-not-diagnose line | The app supports the diagnostic process and points to a clinician; it does not diagnose, and specifics vary by individual. |

Questions
What people ask about this idea
Does this app diagnose PMDD?
No. It runs the prospective daily-rating protocol clinicians require and produces a clinician-ready report, then points users to a clinician for evaluation. It supports diagnosis; it does not diagnose.
Why daily ratings across two cycles?
Because PMDD confirmation requires prospective ratings across at least two symptomatic cycles. Retrospective memory is unreliable, which is exactly why so many cases go unconfirmed for years.
How is this different from a period app?
General period apps track everything shallowly. This is built around the specific diagnostic protocol and the standardized report that makes a clinician take the pattern seriously.
Will results be the same for everyone?
No. Diagnosis and care vary by individual and provider. The app provides rigorous evidence to bring to a clinician, not a guaranteed outcome.
