Home Test Kit for Analysing Biomarkers in Menstrual Fluid
Every month menstrual fluid provides important biomarkers for better health care. It can be analysed to provide insights about the female body or provide information about nutrient deficiencies. "PeriodCheck" is a concept for a service consisting of a home test kit and software for testing menstrual blood at home. In the familiar environment at home, the period blood is analysed for blood sugar, vitamin D or iron, for example. Therefor it uses the test-specific cartridges, a special cup and an input sensor. The test results can be read directly in the app. In this way, users are supported in self-determined health care and get access to the data of their body.
