Hey HN, I’m Aliaksei Saskevich, CTO & Software Engineer at Sequoia Health. My team and I have built an iOS app to help men improve their sexual health through lifestyle changes and guided exercises — no medications involved. We noticed that many men struggle to talk about sexual health and often seek help only when things get critical. Our goal is to offer a science-backed, stigma-free tool that helps earlier and more effectively. What makes Sequoia different: - Exercises are personalized based on the IIEF test (International Index of Erectile Function). - Content is written by certified sexologists and psychologists on our team. - We offer optional online consultations with real specialists. - We’re building a structured knowledge base focused on practical, non-pharmaceutical solutions. Achievements so far: - Partnered with a local lab to offer discounts to users. - Members of the World Association of Sexologists. - Official partners of UNFPA. - Ranked #2 and #5 Product of the Day on Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/products/sequoia-men-s-sexual-we.... Results: - We ran a user survey inside the app — 79% of respondents reported improvements in their sexual health. Full report: https://sequoia.health/research/research-report-user-survey-... - The study was accepted and presented at a medical conference. Current features: - 21-day exercise plan with progressive difficulty - Symptom tracker - Articles by medical professionals - Calendar & reminders - Regular checkups - Health stats dashboard What we’re working on now: - AI-driven personalization: We’re developing an AI module that analyzes user input and IIEF results to recommend tailored exercise plans and summarize the user’s current health status in clear, actionable terms. - Integrated online consultations: Users can now book sessions directly with certified sexologists and psychologists through the app — for deeper guidance, emotional support, or clarification on their progress. Pricing: - Limited free features - Monthly: $19.99 - 3 Months: $38.99 - Annual: $69.99 - Lifetime: $199.99 Would love feedback on: - UI/UX: What works, what doesn’t? - Features: What feels essential, missing, or over-complicated? - Pricing: Does it feel fair for what’s offered? - Motivation: What drives users to pay for health apps like this?
