Support a startup combating mental health with menstrual literacy ❤️Howami is an immersive menstrual wellness app for teens. Howami addresses the growing mental health risks for women, low menstrual literacy, and persistent period stigma. The World Health Organization’s 2023 Menstrual Health report highlights the global need for improved menstrual literacy and awareness. This report emphasizes the importance of education about menstruation and creating positive norms. Our innovation leverages advanced gaming technology for therapeutic outcomes, aiming to counteract the negative effects of social media by promoting embodiment and self-awareness.

Howami is an innovative mobile application designed to help  menstruating individuals engage with their menstrual cycle and emotions through the use of advanced game design technology, CGI visuals, and a fluid, gesture-controlled interface.

Our app provides a safe, healthy, and non-exploitative platform tailored to the needs of people.
