About Perigee — boilerplate
Perimenopause can change a woman’s nights for years — sleep breaks at 3 a.m., nights run warm — and the Apple Watch on her wrist has often been recording those nights all along. Perigee reads them back to her with perimenopause in mind. Each morning it compares the readings with what is usual for her and says in plain words what changed, beside the symptoms she logs. And because the next step is often a doctor’s appointment, Perigee gathers those dated readings into a PDF she can bring — so the conversation starts from her records instead of her memory.
One line: Perigee reads the nights an Apple Watch records and explains them in plain words — perimenopause, against her own baseline.
Fact sheet
- Name
- Perigee: Perimenopause Tracker
- What it is
- An iOS app that reads the overnight readings an Apple Watch records and explains each morning in plain words, against the user’s own baseline
- Apple’s iOS 27 notification
- In iOS 27, the Health app can notify users ages 40 and above when the cycles they logged over the past six months are suggestive of perimenopause. Apple says these notifications are based solely on the user’s logged cycle history and are not intended to replace traditional methods of diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. No Apple Watch is needed to receive one. Perigee works alongside it: each morning it reads back what her Apple Watch recorded overnight, with perimenopause in mind and beside the symptoms she logs, and it puts those Watch readings in the PDF she can bring to her doctor

What it does — and doesn’t
Does
- Reads the readings a Watch already records during sleep — wrist temperature, sleep, breathing rate — alongside daily resting heart rate and HRV
- Compares each night with what is usual for her, not with a population average
- Explains the morning in plain words, and says when more nights are needed for a fair comparison
- Assembles dated readings into a PDF she can bring to a doctor’s appointment
Doesn’t
- It doesn’t measure hormones — nothing on a wrist does
- It doesn’t diagnose, and never claims to know why something changed — only what changed, and when
- It doesn’t replace her doctor; it gives the appointment a record to start from
Perigee doesn’t provide medical advice or diagnose any condition. It organizes your Watch readings so you and your doctor can review them together.
