Hinge Health and Midi Health have announced a new partnership aimed at closing the significant healthcare gap for women going through menopause. By combining Hinge Health’s expertise in movement-based therapies with Midi Health’s virtual care clinic, the collaboration aims to provide holistic and personalized care to women experiencing the wide range of symptoms associated with midlife hormonal changes.
“Partnering with Hinge Health allows us to extend our reach and provide comprehensive, personalized care to even more women going through menopause,” said Midi Health CEO and Co-founder Joanna Strober. “By combining our strengths, we can ensure that women receive the personalized, holistic support they need, whether that’s movement-based therapies or prescription treatments such as hormone therapy, or both.”
For many women, menopause brings about a decline in estrogen levels that can exacerbate existing conditions or trigger new musculoskeletal and pelvic health issues. In fact, 71% of individuals experiencing menopause report joint and muscle pain, symptoms that are frequently overlooked by conventional medical care. A recent review from the University of Central Florida School of Medicine has coined a new term, “musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause,” to highlight the need for greater attention to these symptoms.
“Hinge Health announced the addition of menopause support to our program earlier this year because movement-based support effectively reduces menopause-related pain and discomfort,” said Arielle Slam, Principal Product Manager, Women’s Health, Hinge Health. “We’re partnering with Midi Health to bring our members additional evidence-based options, including hormonal and non-hormonal prescription medications. This partnership will create a wraparound care experience for women with a wide range of menopause symptoms, including the often-overlooked musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause.”
Through this partnership, Hinge Health members who are in-network with Midi Health and receiving menopause support will gain access to Midi Health’s personalized treatment protocols. These include visits with prescribing clinicians who specialize in menopause care, offering tailored support options that range from hormone therapy to non-hormonal treatments. Hinge Health care teams will also highlight the availability of Midi Health services when clinically appropriate, ensuring members are aware of all available options for their menopause care.
