Your sanitary pads hold hidden, valuable health data. This novel technology easily extracts that data!
In a groundbreaking development poised to revolutionise women’s healthcare, researchers at ETH Zürich have unveiled MenstruAI—a wearable diagnostic tool that transforms menstrual blood into a rich source of health insights.
Traditionally overlooked, menstrual blood is now being recognised for its diagnostic potential.
MenstruAI integrates a paper-based biosensor into sanitary pads, enabling the detection of biomarkers associated with inflammation, cancer, and endometriosis.
The process is straightforward: wear the pad, take a photo with a smartphone, and analyse the results via a dedicated app.
This non-invasive approach not only simplifies health monitoring but also addresses a systemic gap in women’s health research.
By leveraging a readily available biological sample, MenstruAI offers a convenient and accessible means for early disease detection, potentially transforming routine menstrual cycles into quality health assessments.
