Summ Base
Get started

For employers who already offer menopause support

Make menopause support work better.

Summ Base privately connects women to the support their employer already provides, and shows organisations where it isn’t reaching people.

Get startedSee how it works

Start with a free evaluation of the support you already provide.

What’s been happening?

I’m exhausted after nights and I can’t concentrate. I don’t know where to start.

Summ Base helps her work out what might be making it harder, and where to start.

The problem

The support exists. Women still don’t know where to start.

Policies, Occupational Health, EAP and adjustments only help if women can find what fits their situation.

Where do I start?

Summ Base connects what she needs with what you provide.

How it works

How Summ Base works.

Step through it with Next to see both sides: the hub an employer uses, and the private app a woman uses.

A personalised workplace menopause support navigator

Matching an employer’s menopause support to each woman’s symptoms and her work.

  1. Tell Summ Base what’s difficult

    She explains what’s happening in her own words.

  2. Find the support that fits

    Summ Base matches her to relevant employer support and access routes.

  3. See where support breaks down

    Employers see grouped patterns about barriers and usefulness.

For women

One private front door to your support.

  • Her symptom pattern in Summ Base: a heat pattern, with heat high and the other areas low.

    Support matched to how you feel

    Tell Summ Base how you are feeling and what is hard at work. See the support your employer already offers that fits.

  • Help you can get at work: support matched to how she is feeling and her job, each saying how to get it.

    Personalised to you

    Matched to your symptoms and your job, with how to get it and whether your manager needs to be involved.

  • A Discover card picked because she said hot flushes, with everyday changes that can help, from the NHS.

    Content picked for you

    Short reads on what you told us about, guides on nutrition, and research, each showing where it comes from.

  • Community: spaces for her employer, her kind of work and everyone, and a question of the week.

    Private communities

    Talk to other women going through the same thing. Your employer never reads posts.

Across four routes: Health, Emotional wellbeing, Work and Connection. Screens from the Summ Base app, shown with a fictional employer. Some features shown are still in development.

When your employer connects

Women see the support that actually applies to them.

Summ Base shows each woman what is relevant, how to access it and what she may need to share.

For employers

See where your support is working, and where it isn’t.

Summ Base helps women privately navigate the support already available to them. Your organisation sees protected group patterns showing what is useful, what is difficult to use and what needs to change, never individual journeys.

What you get to do

What women need

  1. See which support is being sought.

Where they get stuck

  • Understand access barriers and gaps.

What helps

  • See grouped feedback on usefulness.

Every figure is a grouped pattern, shown only where enough people answered to protect everyone in them. Never an individual. Grouped figures appear only for groups of 10 or more across the organisation, and 15 or more for a division, role type or work pattern. Data is held in the EU, as agreed in each organisation’s DPIA.

Free for women. Connected by employers.

For women

Private support matched to their situation.

For employers

Grouped insight into demand, barriers and usefulness.

Employers never see individual answers.
