Eli Health introduces a Hormometer to test your hormones on a smartphone

This is how your smartphone is growing. Now he will be able to analyze your saliva and perform a real-time hormone test.

Cheers Elia pioneer in hormone monitoring technology, is launching the Hormometer at CES 2025, starting with cortisol and progesterone testing. Eli Health said it has been working on it for five years and has 12 inventions pending a patent.

This is the first solution to turn any smartphone into a portable real-time hormone analyzer using saliva. Debuting at CES 2025 and winner of Best of Innovation in the CES 2025 Innovation Awards program for Digital Health, this innovative solution will redefine hormone tracking by offering real-time and actionable health insights to directly through saliva, empowering users to monitor and optimize health when it comes. .

“At Eli Health, we're creating unprecedented access to hormone health insights, providing the tools they need to better understand and support their well-being—every day and across life,” said Marina Pavlovic Rivas, CEO of Eli Health, in her statement. “The Hormometer is the result of years of dedicated R&D in our Canadian facility, supported by a multidisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, AI developers, doctors and innovators. Combining cutting-edge innovation with an easy-to-use design, it delivers lab-grade precision in the palm of your hand. We're making hormone monitoring as simple and accessible as monitoring your heart rate, helping people proactively manage their health.”

Just as the glucometer changed diabetes care, the Hormometer ushers in a new era of hormone health. Compact, non-invasive, and accessible, it provides immediate, active insights into critical hormones, starting with cortisol and progesterone.

Using a dozen patent-pending innovations, this FDA-registered system combines cutting-edge bioassay technology and microfluidics with advanced AI computer vision analysis, delivering precision lab grade and vision anytime, anywhere. It revolutionizes hormone monitoring by making it as simple as brushing your teeth and as accessible as a cup of coffee.

Hormones produced by endocrine glands are vital chemical messengers that regulate almost every aspect of health, including stress, sleep, mood, energy, reproduction, and health and longevity in the generally.

Hormonal imbalances can have far-reaching effects, contributing to issues such as chronic stress, fatigue, male and female infertility, weakened immunity, changes in weight, disturbed sleep, poor heart and bone health, and accelerated aging.

Traditionally, hormone levels are measured through laboratory tests on blood, saliva, or urine, but these methods are costly and time-consuming, often taking weeks for results. In contrast, existing at-home hormone tests, while more convenient, rely heavily on somewhat misleading urine tests and are largely aimed at women's fertility, giving provide no insight into broader hormonal health for both sexes. These tests usually offer limited insight, with many giving binary results (eg, confirming the presence of hormones) without follow-up and insight.

Saliva science solution

While the correlation between hormone concentrations in blood and saliva has been recognized for years, Eli Health is the first to develop a portable and immediate solution based on saliva with unparalleled accuracy over multiple hormone. This innovation is the result of five years of rigorous research and development, backed by a $9 million investment.

The Hormometer combines an innovative one-step process cartridge, advanced microfluidics, and a self-contained ultra-sensitive bioassay, along with powerful software that transforms any smartphone into a sophisticated chemical analyzer with thanks to computer vision algorithms. This breakthrough delivers accurate, convenient hormone monitoring in just three easy steps:

Saliva-Collection: The card is finely designed, thin as a finger, used as a thermometer, placed in the mouth, and held for 60 seconds. At its level, a collection pad made of proprietary materials effectively captures the saliva sample and releases it into the bioassay. The bioassay detects specific hormones by binding them to capture reactions, producing visible test lines within 20 minutes. Offering up to 1,000,000 times more sensitivity than most home market products, the Hormometer sets a new standard for accuracy in hormone monitoring.

Smartphone Biofluid Analysis: The Eli app turns smartphones into powerful biofluidic scanners. Using the phone's camera, the app thoroughly analyzes the test's alignment, color intensity, and patterns to produce detailed and accurate hormone data with advanced AI algorithms. What once took days to process in a lab with trained personnel is now accomplished in seconds, providing an instant, lab-quality impression to anyone at their fingers.

Visions of Health: The Eli Health app provides personalized trends and actionable tips for managing various hormones and their related health functions, including weight management, sleep optimization, athletic performance, fertility , and more. The company is creating the first long-term data set of its kind, enabling unparalleled insights and advances in precision medicine.

Hormone health begins with a cortisol and progesterone test

The Eli Health platform starts with two key hormones – cortisol and progesterone – selected for their critical roles in overall health:

● Cortisol, the “stress hormone,” affects most body functions and regulates the body's stress response, mental and physical performance, metabolism, immune function, and much more. Monitoring cortisol helps users understand how stress affects their health, leading them to adopt better habits. The Eli Cortisol Test, the world's first instant test for this hormone, delivers 97% accuracy compared to traditional laboratory gold standard tests approved by the FDA in third-party testing.

● Progesterone, which is essential for reproductive and overall health, affects menstrual cycles, fertility, perimenopause, and endocrine conditions. Eli's progesterone test provides detailed insights into hormonal balance, helping users optimize their health and manage hormonal changes. With 94% agreement with the traditional laboratory test approved by the FDA in a third-party test, it offers unmatched daily accuracy.
With testosterone and estradiol already in development, Eli Health is still eager to expand its hormone health platform to many other biomarkers, improving well-being through cutting-edge precision.
