AI-powered women’s health companion Nexus launches in UK

The first AI-powered health companion designed exclusively for women is launching in the UK today.

Nexus provides a unified fitness, nutrition, medication and cycle tracking solution alongside a personal digital health coach.

Unlike other health apps built for isolated concerns, Nexus recognises that women’s health is interconnected.

Powered by a proprietary AI model and guided by Nova, the in-app AI health coach, Nexus connects the dots between every aspect of a woman’s wellbeing, from hormonal cycles to nutrition and mental health, and provides personalised, evidence-based guidance in real time.

Co-founder Leo Tyson has worked with over a thousand women in his role as a personal health coach, but wanted to support even more women through their health journeys.

Tyson said: “Nexus gives every woman a health coach in her pocket and the knowledge to become her own expert.

“I would see women desperate for guidance but unable to afford one-on-one coaching.

“They would try to patch together information from different apps or cheaper coaches, often making things worse rather than better.

“At the same time, the sector has been missing an integrated platform that understands women’s health is not just their cycles, but their whole health story.

“Our mission with Nexus is to give every woman at every life stage the personalisation, clarity and support of a one-to-one health coaching, at an accessible price.”

The launch draws on extensive research in Nexus’ white paper The Period App Problem, which revealed that many women feel disappointed by menstrual tracking apps that fail to deliver meaningful, personalised insights.

Nexus bridges this gap with a female-specific onboarding process offering over 50,000 unique combinations of personalised wellness insights.

With Nova, users also have access to an AI coach that truly knows them, offering adaptive, actionable guidance grounded in science and tailored to each woman’s unique physiology and life stage.

The vision behind Nexus is to give women control over their own health data, using it to improve conversations with healthcare providers, reduce medical gaslighting and accelerate diagnosis times through advocacy and education.

At the heart of Nexus lies a proprietary large language model (LLM) and peer-reviewed health database, built specifically for women.

This architecture blends medical research, clinical guidelines and user data to generate precise recommendations, far surpassing the capabilities of off-the-shelf AI systems.

Nexus is available on the App Store from today (10th October).
