Its app helps women understand the stage they are in, track symptoms and mood, access scientifically validated content and receive personalized support from professionals. Pausetiv was starting from scratch. Before investing in development, the team wanted to **put a realistic product in front of early users** and learn from them. ![Pausetiv onboarding flow with welcome, questions and goals](https://images.app.donux.com/unsafe/fit-in/1440x0/case-studies/pausetiv/image-01.png) 2/ ## Focus on the moments that matter We mapped the key moments of the experience, from discovering the app to coming back every day, and focused the MVP on what early users needed to see the value. ![Pausetiv feature cards and last period date picker](https://images.app.donux.com/unsafe/fit-in/1440x0/case-studies/pausetiv/image-02.png) 3/ ## A gentle, respectful onboarding Questions about periods, symptoms and sexual health need care. We split the profile setup into short, clear steps with a reassuring tone, and users can pause and continue later. ![Pausetiv profile setup with general and cycle information](https://images.app.donux.com/unsafe/fit-in/1440x0/case-studies/pausetiv/image-03.png) ![Pausetiv profile questions on symptoms and lifestyle](https://images.app.donux.com/unsafe/fit-in/1440x0/case-studies/pausetiv/image-04.png) 4/ ## Tracking in a few taps A daily check-in with clear categories and friendly icons lets users record symptoms, mood and lifestyle in seconds. ![Pausetiv home screen and daily check-in sheet](https://images.app.donux.com/unsafe/fit-in/1440x0/case-studies/pausetiv/image-05.png) Every entry builds the data behind personalized advice. ![Pausetiv color palette](https://images.app.donux.com/unsafe/fit-in/1440x0/case-studies/pausetiv/image-06.png) ![Pausetiv symptom tracking icon set](https://images.app.donux.com/unsafe/fit-in/1440x0/case-studies/pausetiv/image-07.png) ![Pausetiv educational content cards on nutrition, activity and sleep](https://images.app.donux.com/unsafe/fit-in/1440x0/case-studies/pausetiv/image-08.png) 5/ ## The result Every flow, including appointment booking, was connected into an interactive prototype ready for Pausetiv's early user interviews: a concrete product to test and learn from **before writing a line of code**. Delivered on time, as the founder notes below. ![Pausetiv personalized treatment questionnaire](https://images.app.donux.com/unsafe/fit-in/1440x0/case-studies/pausetiv/image-09.png) ![Pausetiv appointment booking and confirmation](https://images.app.donux.com/unsafe/fit-in/1440x0/case-studies/pausetiv/image-10.png) 6/ ## Testimonial > The quality of the work was very high, and the timing of delivery was incredibly precise. **Clarice Pinto** Founder ## Want to test your idea with real users before you build it?
