We are incredibly proud to see Frieda Health, one of our Venture Companies, reach an important milestone: Frieda Menova is now officially available as a DiGA, a digital health application on prescription in Germany.
What started with a clear conviction, that women going through menopause deserve better, evidence-based care, has now made its way into standard healthcare.
Frieda Menova can now be prescribed by doctors and psychotherapists for menopausal symptoms and is fully reimbursed by Germanyโs statutory health insurance system.
And behind that regulatory milestone is strong clinical evidence.
In a randomized controlled study with 100 women, around 70% of Frieda Menova users achieved a clinically meaningful improvement in the burden of hot flashes and night sweats after twelve weeks, compared with 30% in the control group. Improvements were also observed in sleep quality and overall menopausal symptoms, with the results published in the scientific journal: Maturitas Journal Updates.
This is exactly the kind of progress we want to see across the longevity ecosystem: science translated into solutions, solutions validated through evidence, and evidence ultimately reaching people through the healthcare system.
Building a regulated healthcare product is rarely a straight line. It requires persistence, clinical rigor, regulatory discipline and an exceptional team behind it.
Congratulations to Valentina Ullrich, Dr. Kai Schulze-Wundling, Thanh Schrader-Nguyen and the entire Frieda Health team on reaching this milestone. ๐
