This study conducted interviews with perimenopausal and premenopausal women to uncover issues related to their daily lives and menopause care, as well as their needs regarding Menotech. It examined potential directions for future Menotech service design and distinguished between positive and negative factors through thematic analysis. The needs of menopausal women encompass maintaining a healthy lifestyle and receiving emotional support, while appropriate measures may include hormone therapy and herbal remedies. There are problems of work-family harmony, health issues, and access to information. Moving forward, a comprehensive approach should be adopted to provide suitable information and support.
