About Oova:

Oova is a well-funded women’s health tech company that has developed a groundbreaking home-testing platform that enables patients and doctors to track hormone levels in real time without a blood draw.  Oova has developed a first-of-its-kind, patent-pending process to help women make informed fertility decisions by accurately measuring hormone levels through daily urine samples. We are threading the needle between at-home testing and targeted telehealth! 

The team has spent over 3 years fusing innovative biochemistry, ground-breaking image processing, and machine learning to precisely detect these hormones using a simple Oova test. For our customers, it’s as simple as peeing on a stick and scanning it with a smartphone. Oova provides personalized insights to facilitate pregnancy and expose reproductive health issues like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Never before have women been able to gain the level of insight Oova provides as affordably (10x cheaper than regular clinic visits), effectively (utilizing machine learning and AI to get personalized information), and comfortably (no blood draws or mailing anything to a lab).
