The Digital Period is an open research project that examines my own and society’s relationship with technology that started in 2022. Judith examines the meaning of (relational) autonomy and whether the impact of menstruation apps on people’s autonomy. Judith translated her research into a podcast series ‘The Digital Period‘.
Period apps play a role in a part of our lives that is extremely intimate. They are one of the most downloaded health apps worldwide. Understanding why someone tracks their period can tell you a lot about who they are and who they want to be, how they spend their lives and how they try to change their lives. Period apps are often at the centre of our relationships with ourselves and those we love the most.
