A consultation, not a questionnaire
Most health apps hand you a form. Meia Lab begins with a conversation. You describe what you have been experiencing in your own words, and Meia asks the questions a good clinician would ask: when it started, what moves with it, what your sleep and cycle have been doing, what has changed. Ten minutes, no card, no account required to begin.
What happens to what you say
The consultation
You talk. Meia listens and asks considered follow-up questions. Fatigue that arrives at 3pm is a different finding from fatigue you wake with. A cycle that has shortened is a different finding from one that has vanished. The conversation is designed to capture the texture that tick-boxes flatten.
The Five Signals reading
Your consultation is interpreted across five connected signals: Energy, Clarity, Rhythm, Resilience and Perception. Each receives a score from 0 to 10 and a written note explaining what informed it. You receive this reading free, along with a plain-language synthesis of what stands out and what may connect.
The dashboard
Subscribers continue into the dashboard: a two to three minute daily check-in, trend views that show how each signal is moving, and interpretation that updates as your picture develops. A single reading is a photograph. The dashboard is the film.
The appointment brief
When you have an appointment coming, Meia assembles a structured brief: the symptoms worth mentioning and why, the questions worth asking, and the patterns worth discussing. The average UK GP appointment runs to about ten minutes. The brief exists so that none of them are wasted on trying to remember.
Why time matters more than any single answer
Hormonal systems move in rhythms: daily cortisol curves, monthly estradiol and progesterone cycles, transitions that unfold over years. A single assessment can describe today. Patterns across weeks are what distinguish a bad fortnight from a genuine shift. This is why Meia Lab is built around repeated observation rather than one-off scoring, and why the daily check-in is deliberately short enough to sustain.
Where Meia Lab stops
Meia Lab interprets patterns and prepares you for clinical conversations. It does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace the judgement of a qualified clinician. If something in your consultation suggests a symptom that deserves prompt medical review, Meia says so directly and tells you to take it to a professional. That is a design principle, not a disclaimer.
