Access to personal health data is rapidly changing the approach to women’s health for the better. In the past, tracking one’s hormonal balance came with multiple clinic visits, a battery of tests, and a waiting period for results. With the advent of modern health technologies, women can now take charge over their health, particularly in the field of automation and at home tech.
Women’s hormones, while extremely impactful on aspects such as mood, metabolism, sleep and fertility, are poorly understood, often only viewed through the prism of irregular periods, fatigue or mood swings. Tools such as the Reproductive Hormone Test Kit promise to address that concern, allowing the woman to interpret what her body is narrating and granting her agency in the narrative.
This trend signals a shift not just in convenience but in the overarching approach to women’s health, all in the guise of relaxed testing procedures.
