Eli Health

At-home saliva hormone monitoring & insights

Overview

What Eli Health does: It builds a home hormone monitoring system for women’s reproductive health. How it works: a saliva sample is measured by a patent-pending point-of-care device, with a companion app that analyzes hormone data using algorithms to identify fertile days and overall reproductive health; consumables are required as part of a subscription. How it differs from competitors: it offers at-home, non-invasive hormone monitoring with a recurring subscription model and proprietary consumables, plus personalized insights from hormone data to guide conception or contraception decisions. What the goal is: to provide reliable, convenient reproductive health monitoring and decision support while creating a steady revenue stream through ongoing consumables and services.
