"The FlowPad looks like your run-of-the-mill menstrual pad but is built with a microfluidic diagnostic layer underneath that directs menstrual blood into biomarker zones for testing fertility, ovarian health, and perimenopausal hormones. The results of the test show up in Vivoo's app after a user scans the pad's results through their phone camera or enters them manually. The ethos behind FlowPad and Vivoo's smart toilet is simple."
"Fluids like menstrual blood or urine can convey lots of information about a person's internal wellness. Primarily, menstrual blood contains hormones and signals that reflect the endocrine system's overall health. Recent studies have found that it can also be used to diagnose hormonal imbalances, cervical cancer, endometriosis, chlamydia, and diabetes, among other endocrine disorders."
Vivoo introduced the conceptual FlowPad, a menstrual pad with a microfluidic diagnostic layer that channels menstrual blood into biomarker zones to test fertility, ovarian health, and perimenopausal hormones. Test results appear in the Vivoo app after a user scans the pad with a phone camera or enters results manually. The company also launched a Vivoo Smart Toilet optical clip-on sensor designed to measure hydration via urine. Menstrual blood and urine are described as rich sources of endocrine and health information, capable of indicating hormonal imbalances and a range of conditions from endometriosis to diabetes.
