What the Health Hub is.
A modern education and support space helping young people, adults, parents and educators understand periods, period pain and endometriosis — what is normal, what may need attention, and how to prepare for better conversations with healthcare professionals.
It is built static-first on Cloudflare for speed, safety and low cost, so we can validate demand before adding accounts, a real AI assistant or community features.
Safety boundary (built into every page)
The Health Hub provides education and support only. It is not a diagnosis, medical advice, treatment recommendation or emergency service. Every page carries this reminder, and the assistant always points urgent symptoms to appropriate help.
Education
Learn pathways & resource library
Periods & puberty
Cycle basics, products, first periods, pain and what is normal.
Endometriosis navigator
Symptoms, treatment language, appointment prep and specialist questions.
Parents & caregivers
Scripts, checklists and simple ways to talk without shame.
Schools & educators
Lesson ideas, myth-busting and period dignity support.
Resource library — 20 guides
20 plain-English articles with a working category filter (Periods, Endometriosis, Parents, Appointments, Myths).
Tools
Interactive tools
Appointment preparation tool
Turns symptoms, impact and questions into a clear summary to copy or print before a doctor’s visit. Runs entirely in the browser — nothing is stored.
AI assistant (safe demo)
Answers plain-English questions on periods, pain, endometriosis, products, appointments and school support, always with safety wording — and escalates urgent symptoms. A scripted demo for now; a governed AI backend comes later.
Engagement
Forms & sign-ups
These are fully built — backed by a database and spam protection — and switch on the moment the final spam-protection keys are added. Until then they display a check message rather than saving.
Join the beta
Captures early-interest sign-ups (name, email, interest) from the homepage and community page.
Ask a question
Lets visitors submit anonymous questions to shape future resources. Question text is stored separately from any optional email for privacy.
Suggest a specialist
Collects suggestions for a future, carefully verified specialist directory.
Schools interest
Registers schools and educators for the pilot resource pack.
Safety, privacy & trust
- Non-clinical by design — educates and prepares; never diagnoses or prescribes.
- Disclaimer on every page — plus urgent-symptom signposting in the assistant.
- Privacy-first — no accounts; the appointment tool stores nothing; we collect as little as possible.
- Anonymous questions — question text is kept separate from contact details.
- Moderated growth — community and specialist directory stay waitlist-only until governance is ready.
Technology & hosting
- Cloudflare Pages — fast, secure, low-cost static hosting on a global network.
- Serverless forms — Cloudflare Pages Functions handle submissions; no server to maintain.
- Database (D1) — submissions stored in Cloudflare’s managed database.
- Spam protection (Turnstile) — privacy-friendly bot protection on every form.
- Mobile-ready & accessible — responsive layout, fast load, clean URLs.
