Invitation for men to ‘experience hot flushes’

A MenoVest will allow people at an event in Hull to experience one of the symptoms of the menopause.

ClinicaliQ Brief
  • A MenoVest device at a Hull event enables men to physically experience hot flushes, simulating a key menopause symptom to improve understanding of the condition.
  • This experiential approach aims to build empathy and awareness among men regarding the physical impact of menopausal symptoms that affect their partners, colleagues, and patients.
  • Educational initiatives that bridge knowledge gaps about menopause through direct experience may help reduce stigma and improve support for those experiencing the transition.
