Project Description

Period Tracker Technologies allow its users to track their menstrual cycle and overall health. However, in some cases, they fail to support people with diverse bodies and menstrual experiences. We aim to design Period Tracker Technologies that are more inclusive and encourage bodily knowledge and awareness. If you are a user of the Clue app, help us achieve our goal, together we can envision Period Tracker Technologies that support your unique menstrual experience and that of others!

Which data is required?

Ailment Type, Appointment Type, Contraceptive Injection Event, Contraceptive IUD Event, Contraceptive Patch Event, Contraceptive Pill Event, Contraceptive Ring Event, Cravings, Digestion Quality, Exercise Type, Hair Type, Medication Type, Meditation, Menstrual Fluid Type, Menstrual Pain Type, Menstruation Collection Method, Menstruation Test Event, Menstruation Type, Mental State, Mood, Motivation Type, Personal Energy Level, Poop Quality, Sexual Activity, Skin Quality, Sleep Duration, Social Event, Social Mood, Temperature, Text, Weight.

How will the data be used?

We will aggregate your anonymized data with those of other donors to identify commonly (un)used functionalities (e.g., pain, mood, sleep) and to compare similar experiences. Besides, we will invite you to join a one-to-one (optional) online session where we will discuss and reflect on your experience through visualizations of the data you donated, and the aggregated anonymized data of others.

How to donate?

To contribute to this project you must be a user of the Clue app and download a copy of your data. For this, go to the Clue app and tap "menu" if you are using iPhone, or "settings" if you are using Android. Then scroll down and tap "backup", this will generate a file named "ClueDataExport-YYYY-MM-DD.cluedata" containing your data. To donate, simply upload this file below. Also, since we know that the Clue app collects various types of data, and you may not want to share some of it, or it may not be relevant to your experience, you can choose which types of data to donate.
