dip (v1)
The world's first women's wellness tracker
80% of people in the world don’t have enough iron in their bodies. As many as 30% of people have anemia due to prolonged iron deficiency. Anemia is difficult to detect as women do not realise they have a problem because symptoms can come on gradually and are often quite vague. It is a waiting game to measure improvements. The time gap between blood tests can cause health conscious women to feel uncertain if their lifestyle changes have improved their condition.
