Eli Health offers a hormone meter to test your hormones on a smartphone

That’s how smart your smartphone is. Now he will be able to analyze your saliva and perform hormone testing in real time.

Eli Healtha leader in hormone monitoring technology, is launching the Hormometer at CES 2025, starting with cortisol and progesterone tests. Eli Health said it has been working on it for five years and has 12 innovations pending patents.

It is the first solution to turn any smartphone into a portable real-time hormone analyzer using saliva. Debuting at CES 2025 and winning the Best Innovation Award in the CES 2025 Digital Health Innovation Awards program, this groundbreaking solution redefines hormone tracking by delivering real-time, actionable health insights directly through saliva, enabling users to monitor and improve wellness. On the go. .

“At Eli Health, we are working to provide unprecedented access to hormonal health insights, equipping individuals with the tools they need to better understand and support their health – every day, throughout their lives,” Marina Pavlovich Rivas, CEO of Eli Health, said in a statement. statement. “The hormone meter is the result of years of dedicated research and development at our Canadian facility, supported by a multidisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, AI developers, clinicians and innovators. It combines cutting-edge innovation with an easy-to-use design, and delivers laboratory-grade accuracy in the palm of your hand. We make monitoring Hormones are as simple and accessible as checking their heart rate, helping people proactively manage their health.

Just as the glucometer has transformed diabetes care, the glucometer heralds a new era of hormone health. It is small, non-invasive and accessible, providing immediate and actionable insights into important hormones, starting with cortisol and progesterone.

Leveraging dozens of patent-pending innovations, this FDA-registered system combines the latest bioassay and microfluidic technologies with advanced AI computer vision analysis, delivering laboratory-level accuracy and insights anytime, anywhere. Anywhere. It has revolutionized hormone monitoring by making it as simple as brushing your teeth and as affordable as a cup of coffee.

Hormones produced by endocrine glands are biochemical messengers that regulate nearly every aspect of health, including stress, sleep, mood, energy, reproduction, overall health, and longevity.

Hormone imbalance can have wide-ranging effects, contributing to problems such as chronic stress, fatigue, male and female infertility, weakened immunity, weight fluctuations, disturbed sleep, poor heart and bone health, and accelerated aging.

Traditionally, hormone levels are measured through laboratory tests of blood, saliva or urine, but these methods are expensive and time-consuming, often taking weeks to get results. In contrast, current home hormone tests, while more convenient, rely primarily on somewhat messy urine tests and focus mostly on women’s fertility, offering no insights into the broader hormonal health of all genders. These tests typically provide limited insights, with many providing binary results (e.g., confirming the presence of a hormone) without ongoing monitoring and insights.

Unlock the science of saliva

While the relationship between blood and saliva hormone concentrations has been known for years, Eli Health is the first to develop a portable, instantaneous saliva-based solution with unparalleled accuracy across multiple hormones. This innovation is the result of five years of rigorous research and development, supported by an investment of $9 million.

Hormometer combines an innovative one-step process cartridge, advanced microfluidics, and a self-contained ultra-sensitive bioassay, coupled with powerful software that turns any smartphone into a cutting-edge chemical analyzer thanks to computer vision algorithms. This breakthrough provides accurate and convenient hormone monitoring in just three easy steps:

Saliva collection: The elegantly designed cartridge, as thin as a finger, is used like a thermometer, placed in the mouth, and held for 60 seconds. At its tip, a collection plate made of special materials efficiently captures the saliva sample and releases it into the bioassay. The bioassay detects specific hormones by binding them to holding reagents, producing visible test lines within 20 minutes. The Hormometer offers up to 1,000,000 times greater sensitivity than most home market products, setting a new standard for accuracy in hormone monitoring.

Biofluid analysis for smartphonesEli turns smartphones into powerful bio-fluid scanners. By harnessing the phone’s camera, the app analyzes the accuracy of test alignment and the intensity of colors and patterns to extract detailed and accurate hormonal data using advanced artificial intelligence algorithms. What previously took days to process in the lab by trained staff is now done in seconds, providing anyone with instant, lab-quality insights at their fingertips.

Health Insights: The Eli Health app provides personalized directions and actionable recommendations for managing various hormones and their associated health functions, including managing stress, improving sleep, athletic performance, fertility, and more. The company is creating the first longitudinal dataset of its kind, enabling unparalleled insights and advances in precision medicine.

Hormone health starts with testing for cortisol and progesterone

The Eli Health platform starts with two key hormones – cortisol and progesterone – chosen for their critical roles in overall health:

● Cortisol, the “stress hormone,” has an impact on most body functions and regulates the body’s response to stress, cognitive and physical performance, metabolism, immune function, and much more. Cortisol monitoring helps users understand how stressors affect their health, and guides them to adopt better actions. The Eli Cortisol test, the world’s first instant test for this hormone, provides 97% accuracy compared to traditional FDA-approved gold standard tests in third-party tests.

● Progesterone, which is essential for reproductive and overall health, affects menstrual cycles, fertility, perimenopause, and endocrine conditions. Eli’s progesterone test provides accurate insights into hormonal balance, helping users improve their health and manage hormonal changes. With a 94% agreement over traditional, FDA-approved laboratory testing in third-party tests, it provides unparalleled everyday accuracy.
With testosterone and estradiol already in development, Eli Health remains committed to expanding its hormonal health platform to include many other biomarkers, advancing health through cutting-edge precision.

Availability and pricing

It will be launched in January 2025 in the USA and Canada. Subscription plans start at $8 for a 12-month test, with other flexible options available. For more information, visit https://eli.health or the Eli Health booth at CES 2024 (Venice Show, Hall G – 62066).
