According to research by the PCOS Society India, one in every five women in India has polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common endocrine system condition among women of reproductive age. PCOS is a chronic disorder that is a rising issue, especially in an urban setting. PCOS is still a stigmatized, misrepresented, and under-diagnosed condition in India. There is an apparent lack of awareness among women and society. More often than not, women with PCOS are scared and overwhelmed by the situation and find it difficult to understand their bodies. Well-informed women will be able to manage their condition better and also will be able to create a positive impact on the women around them.

‘Understanding PCOS’ is an activity-based booklet that aims to provide newly diagnosed patients with information to ensure better management of the syndrome. Gamifying the content helps people better absorb it and become more self-aware. The book is structured information designed to provide clear communication. It has elements of play to ensure the engagement of the user. Doctors are the patient's primary point of contact during the diagnosis process and have a position of authority in the system. As a response, it is suggested that doctors use the book as a tool for efficient medical communication with their patients.
