Welcome to ENdi: Our Story

Hi! We’re Jemma and Will, the co-founders of ENdi, and we’re so excited to introduce you to our app. ENdi was created out of a deeply personal need—my need. I’m Jemma, and I’ve been living with endometriosis and PCOS for years. The daily struggles with pain, fatigue, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with these conditions were overwhelming, but what made it even worse was the battle to get taken seriously in the healthcare system.

For years, I went from doctor to doctor, hospital to hospital, seeking answers, but I often felt dismissed or told that my pain was ‘normal’. It took years for me to get a proper diagnosis, and during that time, I experienced what so many others with endometriosis and PCOS go through—being medically gaslighted, not believed, and told that I was overreacting.

I was constantly carrying around a huge file of medical records, trying to piece together my health history and symptoms to present to doctors. It felt like a full-time job just to manage my own care. I couldn't keep up with life, work, or appointments, and remembering to take medications was another daily battle. It wasn’t just the physical pain that was debilitating—it was the mental and emotional toll of feeling unheard and unsupported by the very system that was supposed to help me.

This experience of being left in limbo, waiting for years for answers, and the overwhelming task of managing my health is what inspired us to create ENdi. We wanted to build something that would help people like me, who need more than just a simple symptom tracker. ENdi is designed to be the tool I wish I’d had sooner in my journey—a comprehensive app that tracks your symptoms, helps manage appointments and medications, and provides personalised insights into your health.

Endometriosis alone affects over 190 million women worldwide, yet so many of us are still not taken seriously, often waiting years for a diagnosis. This is why ENdi is so important. It's not just about tracking symptoms—it's about empowering you with the tools and insights to take control of your own health journey, so you never feel lost or unheard again.

Thank you for being here and for trusting ENdi to support you. We built this app because I know firsthand how challenging it is to manage these conditions. Together, we’ve created this app to help validate everyone’s experience, and we can finally get the care and understanding we deserve.

– Jemma & Will
