Samt Health is an Arabic-first companion for menopause. It explains what is happening in your body, keeps your record on your own phone, and helps you walk into the clinic knowing what to ask. Educational support, not a diagnosis.
Your health data stays on your device, in the UAE, yours alone.
You're not imagining it. You're not alone. Samt helps you understand what's happening, and find your direction.
Samt is supported by Expo City Dubai Foundation through its Changemakers programme, which backs social ventures across the region with mentorship, introductions and resources.

Menopause isn't an ending.
It's a change of direction.
سَمْت يعني الاتجاه، ورفيقتكِ نحو الوضوح في رحلتكِ.
Read what's happening in your body and mind, in Arabic, in plain words, with the source behind each answer.
Note how you feel over the weeks and watch the pattern emerge. It stays on your own device.
See what the evidence says, and arrive at your appointment with the right questions.
Menopause is not one moment. It runs in three stages, and knowing which one you are in explains a great deal.
The years leading up, when hormones begin to shift. Periods become irregular and symptoms can start.
The point when periods have stopped for 12 months in a row. A natural stage of life, not an illness.
The years after. Some symptoms ease, and the focus shifts to long-term bone and heart health.
Wherever you are, Samt is with you. This is education, not a diagnosis.
Most women are never told what is available. In one Dubai study, 77% did not know the contraindications of hormone therapy. Samt sets out what exists, in language you can act on, so the decision you reach with your doctor is an informed one.
What it is, who it may help, and the questions to ask your doctor.
How sleep, movement and food shift during this stage, and what helps.
Other approaches with evidence behind them, worth raising.
Education, not a prescription. Always decide with your doctor.
Arabic first, plain words, and a source you can open and read for yourself.
Your record is encrypted on your own phone, with a key that never leaves it.
Built by an Arab woman for Arab women, in the UAE, under UAE law.
Your health data is written to your own phone and encrypted there. No server holds it.
Because it never leaves your phone, it never crosses a border to be stored or processed.
We never ask for your name, your number or your location, and we will never sell what we do not have.
Built to the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL).
Hot flashes, sleep, energy and hydration all behave differently during a fast. Samt explains how the two interact, so you can raise it with your doctor and fast with peace of mind. This is education that respects your faith, and it is not medical advice.
It's for the daughters, partners, and friends who want to understand and support her. Share Samt with someone you love.

No. Samt is a health education and self-screening tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, it does not treat, and it does not replace your doctor. What it does is help you understand what you are experiencing, and know what to raise with a clinician.
Your health data is written to your own device and encrypted there, with a key that never leaves it. We don't ask for your name or your phone number, we don't sell data, and the app is built to the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL).
Yes. Samt was written in Arabic first and designed around it, rather than translated into it. English sits alongside.

Samt is still in development, so there is no price yet. Join the waitlist and we'll share pricing and early access when there is something to share. Your email is all we ask for.
We're building it now. The fastest way to know the moment it's ready is the waitlist.
Leave your email and we'll tell you the moment Samt is ready. That's all we'll ever ask for.
