Making a home pocket test tool to measure cortisol

“Eli Health” company unveiled its new product called “Hormonometer”; A home hormone test tool that measures cortisol and progesterone levels using saliva and a smartphone camera. This product, which is designed similar to a pregnancy test, allows the user to receive the results in less than a few minutes by placing the special cartridge in the mouth for 60 seconds.

According to Tekna Technology News Media Service, after collecting the saliva sample, the exclusive “Eli” application provides the result by analyzing the data through the mobile phone camera. These results include information about stress, sleep, sports performance, and fertility, with special recommendations based on the user’s personal data.

According to experts, cortisol as a stress hormone plays a key role in regulating metabolism, blood pressure and sleep cycles. An abnormal increase or decrease of this hormone can be associated with problems such as Cushing’s syndrome, type 2 diabetes and chronic fatigue. On the other hand, progesterone is also a reproductive hormone that abnormal changes in its level can lead to fertility problems and depression.

In recent years, home tests have gained wide acceptance due to their convenience and speed in providing results. From home corona test kits to advanced tools such as hormonometers, these technologies have been able to replace traditional methods and medical laboratories.

One of the biggest advantages of hormonometer is the speed of operation and no need to go to medical centers. Unlike blood tests that are invasive or urine tests that can be uncomfortable, this method is simple and portable. The monthly subscription fee of this product is set at $8 with a 12-month commitment, which is competitively priced compared to similar tests.

Although this tool can be useful for monitoring hormonal disorders, experts have warned that the idea of ​​hormone balance is somewhat misleading. Hormones naturally fluctuate throughout the day and cannot be perfectly balanced. However, this tool can help people who suffer from chronic hormonal diseases to better manage their condition.

Eli Health has announced that it is developing more hormone tests, including testosterone and estradiol. Initial availability of this product will begin this month in the United States and Canada, and its wider release is expected by the end of this year.
