[Health & Sexuality Info](/health-info)# Phendo: App for Those with Endometriosis

This app, offered in partnership with Columbia University, allows anyone who has periods to participate in a study on tracking, managing, and understanding endometriosis.

> Our research project Phendo has over 15,000 users contributing their data to better understand endometriosis. Phendo participants can access their data and contact the researchers at any time. The data collected is stored on HIPAA-certified servers that only researchers and research collaborators have access to.
