California-based Orchyd has launched a three-in-one connected period care set that includes a period tracking app paired with a Bluetooth-enabled smart wallet for storing a one-day supply of any products, including tampons, pads and cups.

Orchyd provides inclusive and sustainable support with on-demand digital healthcare, according to founders sisters Courtney and Morgan King.

“We set out to build a better menstrual experience by combining an advanced health app, wellness tracker, geo-location technology and access to an affordable OB/gyn that is open to everyone, anywhere,” said Morgan King. “With our intentional design that assumes no gender identity or sexuality, Orchyd brings transparency and inclusivity to conversations surrounding periods.”

Board-certified OB/gyn Kate Killoran added: “When it comes to menstruation, period care and overall gynaecologic health, tracking apps have enabled women to better understand their cycles and any associated symptoms. Orchyd’s use of cutting-edge technology in addition to easy access to an OB/gyn provides unparalleled service while reducing stigma and allowing users greater control. No other app in the space comes close.”

The colour customisable Orchyd app serves as a flow, fertility, ovulation and overall health tracker compatible with Apple Health Kit for data transfer. With no in-app ads, the app provides 100% data privacy and Hipaa compliance.

The app uses AI to collect health history for the user’s benefit that, with permission, can be easily shared with partners or parents and uses predictive analytics to improve the user’s cycle experience. The app also features SafeFlow, a built-in reminder system to replace or remove period care products, allowing for peace of mind and reduced risk of toxic shock syndrome. The app reminds users of upcoming cycles for ease and flexibility while on the go ensuring users are not left unprepared.

The app is available through iOS and offers free lifetime membership to all users who purchase the Orchyd Essentials. The app will launch with Android in the following weeks.

To make healthcare more accessible and affordable, Orchyd has introduces OB/Gyn Now. This telehealth feature provides users with round-the-clock direct access to a medical network of certified health specialists for any questions and concerns.

For Orchyd’s initial launch, users will be able to chat online with a specialist where over 90% of resolutions are reached within the first visit. Subscribers to the app receive two free sessions with product purchase and the option to purchase additional sessions, including an unlimited bundle service.

The Orchyd Smart Wallet stores a one-day supply of any period care product. The wallet is connected constantly to the Orchyd app via the Bluetooth-enabled Orchyd Petal.

The wallet is a stylish, compact, any occasion accessory that comes in black and chartreuse. With adjustable and removable straps, it can be used as a clutch, wallet, shoulder bag, fanny pack or cross-body bag. The internal accordion-style pouch securely stores period products, while the rest of the wallet holds and organises credit cards, keys and other personal items, making it suitable for everyday use. It is 93 per cent water-based polyethylene with a zinc alloy zipper, making it strong yet biodegradable in a landfill within two years.

The wallet connects to the Orchyd app through the custom Petal. Petal is waterproof and crushproof, and has a 12-month battery life that can be replaced once a year. It is Bluetooth-connected with a virtual tether that alerts users through the app whenever they are away from their smart wallet during their period or predicted period window. The Petal is connected round the clock.

The three-in-one period care set, Orchyd Essentials, debuts this month and includes the Orchyd app, OB/Gyn Now and the smart wallet. This $259 value set is available for $79. There are no annual subscription fees, and the app comes with a free lifetime membership.

Orchyd is a femtech and period care company that provides inclusive and sustainable support to women and everyone who has a period. Through its patent-pending integrated app with an OB/Gyn Now network, proprietary product usage tracker SafeFlow, and Bluetooth-enabled wallet, Orchyd is said to provide a modern-day solution to old-world problems.
