You can now take testosterone tests with a stick, your phone, and some spit
"You still stick a thin cartridge attached to a wand in your mouth for about 60 seconds to collect saliva. After, the Eli app uses your phone's camera to analyze the results. The entire test takes about 20 minutes. The difference is you can now track three hormones on the same platform for a low price. Eli Health says it expects individual tests will start at $8.25."
"The company claims its achieved over 90 percent accuracy against laboratory standards for progesterone and cortisol via third-party validation testing and is an FDA-registered product. (Note: FDA-registered isn't the same as FDA-cleared or approved; it simply means the Hormometer is categorized as a low-risk, Class I device and doesn't require the same level of scrutiny.)"
Eli Health's Hormometer uses a thin cartridge on a wand to collect saliva for about 60 seconds, and the Eli app analyzes the cartridge with a phone camera to deliver results in about 20 minutes. The device now measures cortisol, testosterone, and progesterone on one platform, with individual tests expected to start at $8.25. Third-party validation reportedly shows over 90% accuracy for progesterone and cortisol versus laboratory standards, and the device is FDA-registered as a low-risk Class I product. Saliva testing measures biologically available hormone levels, differing from total levels measured in blood tests.
