Connecting endometriosis care.

frendo connects patient support, workplaces, healthcare and research.

 

Meet Dearbhail Ormond, Founder & CEO

“After spending two decades searching for answers to stage 4 endometriosis and adenomyosis, I founded frendo to give people better tools, stronger support and a clearer voice in their care.

“Today, I’m building frendo as a connected ecosystem for endometriosis, bringing together patients, employers, healthcare organisations and researchers.

“I’m also a board director of Endo Ireland, where I advocate for earlier listening and care that recognises the full impact of this condition.”

 

What started as one person's experience became a global community.

Today, people use frendo across the world.

Through tens of thousands of symptom and pain-tracking interactions, workplace programmes, research collaborations and healthcare partnerships, we continue to learn directly from the lived experience of those we serve.

One condition.
A whole-life approach.

Endometriosis affects far more than appointments and treatment. frendo connects what people experience day to day with the support they need at work, in healthcare and across their wider lives. Patient-reported insights help us understand where care is falling short and where it can improve.
