After a years-long, frustrating battle with undiagnosed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), Jamaican entrepreneur and coach Denesha Bailey turned her personal struggle into a solution for thousands of women across the Caribbean and beyond. What began as a quest to take control of her own health has evolved into *My Healing Notes*, a first-of-its-kind mobile wellness app built specifically to address gaps in PMOS education, support, and daily management that many women with the condition face globally.
Bailey’s journey to a formal diagnosis stretched across five years. As early as 2020, she experienced persistent, debilitating symptoms including chronic fatigue that caused midday energy crashes, unexplained weight gain despite regular exercise, brain fog, anxiety, and irregular menstrual cycles. Medical providers initially dismissed her concerns, attributing her symptoms to lingering COVID-19 fatigue, and a gynecologist rejected her self-suspected PMOS diagnosis before a second opinion finally confirmed the condition in 2025. Like thousands of women worldwide, Bailey soon discovered that even after receiving an official diagnosis, accessible, region-appropriate guidance for managing the chronic metabolic disorder was nearly impossible to find.
“A lot of women struggling with PMOS are not properly educated on what the condition is and how to manage it,” Bailey explained in an interview with Observer Online. “Many medical providers only tell patients to lose weight, and pay little attention to the condition if the woman isn’t currently trying to conceive. But PMOS worsens over time when left untreated, and even when you do learn the basics, practical, tailored resources are hard to come by. That’s the gap this app fills.”
Launched into beta testing on March 18, 2026, My Healing Notes centers on a simple five-step daily management framework focused on sleep, nutrition, movement, supplementation, and stress reduction. Unlike generic wellness apps built primarily for North American audiences, the platform is intentionally tailored to Caribbean lifestyles, offering region-specific meal plans across six Caribbean sub-regions, including inclusive vegan options that rely on local staples rather than imported, expensive ingredients. Bailey is already updating the app to add more budget-friendly local alternatives, such as swapping imported salmon for affordable local mackerel, in response to early user feedback.
The app combines core symptom tracking with educational resources and innovative AI-powered tools. Users can log and track daily meals, menstrual cycles, sleep patterns, mood fluctuations, and weight changes to identify personal symptom triggers. One of the app’s most groundbreaking features is its AI coach, which can scan packaged food labels to assess whether a product aligns with PMOS-friendly dietary guidelines, scan full plates of food to evaluate nutritional balance for PMOS management, answer user questions in real time, and suggest appropriate alternative products when an item is flagged as unsuitable. For context, PMOS is commonly linked to insulin resistance, which raises a person’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes, making dietary management a critical component of long-term health.
To help address the often-overlooked social and emotional impacts of PMOS, the app also includes a shareable educational one-pager that users can send to partners to help them understand how the condition affects energy, mood, fertility, and sexual health. Looking ahead, Bailey is developing an on-platform “Expert Hub” that will connect users directly to a network of gynecologists, endocrinologists, nutritionists, mental health therapists, and fitness coaches with specialized training in PMOS care.
Currently operating on a freemium model during its beta phase, the app will permanently keep all core educational resources free for users after June 15. Advanced premium features, including the AI-powered scanning tools, will be available via a $9.99 USD monthly subscription.
Since its beta launch in March, the app has already attracted 297 active users and earned an average user rating of 4.4 out of 5. Early users report that the platform provides consistent accountability and accessible answers that they were unable to find from medical providers or generic wellness tools.
Bailey’s own health transformation after following her five-step framework speaks to the app’s potential: she has lost 40 pounds, regained her energy, cleared the brain fog that impacted her work, and restored her confidence. After years of just surviving with undiagnosed PMOS, she wrote three books and built the app in a single month, crediting her management framework with giving her a new lease on life.
My Healing Notes will see its full official launch at the end of June 2026, ahead of Bailey’s presentation at the Jamaica Ladies’ Expo on July 4. For Bailey, the app is more than a business venture—it’s a mission to empower women. Her long-term goal is to ensure every woman struggling with PMOS has access to the affordable, practical tools and knowledge they need to manage the condition effectively and live life at their full potential.
PMOS, previously known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), is a common hormonal disorder that affects an estimated 10 to 13 percent of women of reproductive age globally. Up to 70 percent of all cases remain undiagnosed, and the condition is one of the leading causes of infertility worldwide.
