Smart alerts should guide, not diagnose

Health tracking becomes powerful when it notices patterns early. It becomes dangerous when it overstates what those patterns mean. Smart alerts in Women's GEM are designed as flags, not diagnoses.

Cycle anomalies are one major category. A period that usually lasts two days and suddenly lasts seven can be meaningful, especially if the change repeats or comes with heavy bleeding, pain, dizziness, or fatigue.

Missed periods are another important signal. Pregnancy is one possible reason, but rapid weight loss, under-eating, intense exercise, high stress, thyroid changes, PCOS, and some medications can all affect cycles.

Combined triggers are especially important. Weight loss plus a missed period is different from either signal alone. Women's GEM helps users notice when their body departs from its own baseline and prepares them to seek the right support.
