Samt Health is the Arabic-first wellness companion that helps women understand, track, and navigate menopause — private by design, grounded in science. Educational support, not a diagnosis.

Your health data — on your device, in the UAE, yours alone.

Does this sound like you?

You're not imagining it. You're not alone. Samt helps you understand what's happening — and find your direction.

  • You wake at 3am, heart racing, and you don't know why.
  • Hot flashes arrive out of nowhere — mid-meeting, mid-prayer.
  • Your mood shifts, and you can't explain it even to yourself.
  • Your body feels different — and no one warned you this was normal.
Selected for the Expo Changemakers programme

Samt is supported by Expo City Dubai Foundation — the enabler of social entrepreneurship across the MENA region and the Global South — through its Changemakers programme of mentorship, network, and resources.

The problem / 01

Most women reach menopause without a map. The knowledge gap is widest in our region.

82%

of women surveyed in Dubai had only fair-to-poor menopause knowledge.

77%

were unaware of the contraindications of hormone therapy.

56%

The shift / 02

Menopause isn't an ending.
It's a change of direction.

سَمْت يعني الاتجاه — رفيقتكِ نحو الوضوح في رحلتكِ.

How it works / 03
A woman checking in with Samt at home
  1. 01

    Understand

    Learn what's happening in your body and mind — Arabic-first, in plain language, with cited sources.

  2. 02

    Track

    Note how you feel over time and see your patterns — privately, on your own device.

  3. 03

    Find direction

    Get gentle, science-grounded guidance, and know what to discuss with your doctor.

Your stage / 04

Know where you are in the journey.

Menopause isn't one moment — it's three stages. Knowing yours helps you understand your body.

Stage one

Perimenopause

The years leading up, when hormones begin to shift. Periods become irregular and symptoms can start.

Stage two

Menopause

The point when periods have stopped for 12 months in a row. A natural life stage — not an illness.

Stage three

Postmenopause

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.

Know your options / 05

Understand your options — then talk to your doctor.

Most women are never told what's available. 77% of women in Dubai didn't know the contraindications of hormone therapy. Samt explains the landscape clearly — so you can decide with your doctor.

Option / therapy

Hormone therapy

العلاج الهرموني

What it is, who it may help, and the questions to ask your doctor.

Option / lifestyle

Ramadan & fasting

Menopause and fasting —
Samt understands both.

Hot flashes, sleep, energy, and hydration all change while fasting in Ramadan. Samt helps you understand how menopause and fasting interact — so you can talk to your doctor with confidence and fast with peace of mind. This is education that respects your faith, not medical advice.

The science / 07

Grounded in evidence.
Built for trust.

Every claim is educational and cited. Digital menopause tools have been shown to help women manage symptoms and make better-informed decisions — and Samt is built on that evidence.

Questions

Questions, answered.

Is Samt a medical service? Does it diagnose me?

No. Samt is a health education and self-screening tool — not a medical device. It doesn't diagnose, treat, or replace your doctor. It helps you understand what you're experiencing and know what to discuss with a clinician.

Where is my data stored? Is it private?

Yes — Samt is Arabic-first, designed for Arabic from the ground up (not a translation), with English alongside.
