What we offer research partners
Collaboration, not extraction.
Opted-in participant access
Members who choose to participate in research can be invited to studies. Nila never shares member data without explicit individual consent. Recruitment is through opt-in only.
Co-authored publication framework
We're open to co-authoring findings with academic and clinical partners. Our contribution is access, platform context, and editorial review. Your contribution is study design, ethics approval, and analysis.
Evidence gap prioritization
Our /research-gaps page documents where the evidence base is weakest. We can work with partners to prioritize studies that address named gaps.
Platform data context
For ethics-approved studies, we can provide aggregate platform context (what members are asking about, what information gaps they experience) to inform study design — never individual data.
Priority research areas
Where the evidence is thinnest.
- ADHD, autism, and perimenopause — why so many neurodivergent women receive their diagnosis during the menopause transition
- Menopause in racialized communities — including differences in symptom presentation, treatment access, and diagnostic delay
- Trans and non-binary experiences of midlife hormone transition
- Surgical and medically-induced menopause — GnRH analogues, cancer treatment, hysterectomy with BSO
- Diagnostic delay — the 4.6-year average gap and what reduces it
- Menopause and the workplace — presenteeism, retention, and the effectiveness of employer support
Our commitments to research partners
We never sell or share member data. Participation is always individual and opt-in.
We will not co-author findings we cannot stand behind editorially.
We name our gaps publicly. If the evidence doesn't exist, we say so — and we want to help create it.
Who we have worked with / are in conversation with
Nila is a member of FemTech Canada, Canada's national femtech network. We welcome approaches from universities, clinical research institutions, and ethics-approved study teams.
