Why CoreFlora exists
THE REALITY
of women feel report feeling dismissed when seeking medical help for their symptoms
average diagnostic delay for endometriosis — with IC and vulvodynia facing similar timelines
tracking apps designed specifically for pelvic and urological conditions — until now
— a sentiment shared by so many of us
NOT ANOTHER GENERIC TRACKER
🎯
Condition-specific, not one-size-fits-all
Generic health apps treat every body the same. CoreFlora is designed around the specific patterns and triggers of IC, chronic UTIs, vulvodynia, and pelvic conditions — because they require a different kind of tracking.
📋
Built for the doctor's office
Every feature is designed with your next appointment in mind. Clear summaries and visual data that communicate what's hard to put into words, so you're not scrambling to remember when the flare started.
🔒
Your data stays yours
No selling your health data to advertisers. No vague privacy policies. Your intimate health information belongs to you and the care team you choose to share it with.

Made by someone who gets it
CoreFlora isn't built by a team that Googled "what do women want in a health app." It's built by someone who has lived it — every flare, every dismissal, every late-night search for answers. And it's shaped by years of conversations in support groups and group chats with women navigating the same conditions, whose real experiences and ideas are woven into every feature.
MEET THE FOUNDER
I'm building CoreFlora because I was tired of not having answers. After a decade of suffering from chronic UTIs and an IC diagnosis that raised more questions than it answered, I was exhausted. Exhausted from being dismissed, feeling like no one was listening, and from appointments where I couldn't articulate what I was experiencing because the patterns were too complex to hold in my head.
Things started to shift when I found communities of women living the same reality I was. They reminded me I wasn't imagining it, and that paying attention to my own body was something I was allowed to do. I learned to notice the patterns, make sense of them, and advocate for myself. CoreFlora is my attempt to make that easier for the rest of us, so you can walk into a room with answers instead of a blur. For me, and for you. :)
