Telehealth menopause treatment options displayed on cellphones emerging from a crack in the ground. -- health tech coverage from STAT — Molly Ferguson for STAT

At the turn of the century, nearly 18 million women in the United States were battling hot flashes, night sweats, and other symptoms of menopause with hormones. But in 2002, the therapy went into a free-fall when a landmark trial suggested treating menopause with estrogen and progesterone increased the risk of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease. The study was shut down early — and a year later, prescriptions had plummeted to nearly half what they had been in 2001.

More than two decades later, menopause experts have come to think about the results of the trial very differently. Newer research points to more benefits than risks for many healthy women under 60 treating menopause symptoms with hormone therapy. But many women who are good fits still aren’t getting treatment. “The pendulum has been slowly — too slowly — swinging back,” said OB-GYN Mike Green, chief medical officer of menopause telehealth company Winona.

Winona is part of a new generation of virtual-first health care companies aiming to give that pendulum a push. In the last five years, more than a dozen telehealth companies have started up to serve women in and approaching menopause, including with hormone therapy.
