This project aims to investigate the relationship between women and gynecological health, seeking to understand the context and the problem in which the subject is inserted. The present project presents an investigation of the relationship of women with gynecological health, trying to understand the context and the problematic in which the subject is inserted. Therefore, it also aims to study the relationship between education and culture and its impacts on the construction of health habits, as well as on the subjectivity and identity of women. The research was carried out in two ways: (a) designing a system that promoted a better understanding of female anatomy and physiology, assisting women in the knowledge and management of gynecological health, and (b) promoting the free circulation of relevant knowledge and content among women, not concentrated exclusively on health professionals. It is hoped to promote from these interventions the self-knowledge, the autonomy and the strengthening of sorority networks, bringing to the transparency subjects that are considered a taboo. The first strand developed a thermal cushion with menstrual cycle monitoring system, with informative prints related to anatomy and female physiology. The second strand designed a bracelet that acts as a recorder to promote the sharing of experiences and knowledge of diverse subjects, from the physiological aspect to the emotional aspects of women's lives. It was not possible to verify the potential for autonomy and empowerment provided by the first proposal. The second is in the process of improvement and evaluation.
