Description

Can menstrual blood become the ultimate biohacking tool for women?


Meet Dr. Sara Naseri, the co-founder and CEO of Qvin. This year Qvin got FDA approval for the first even diagnostic menstrual pad, proving that menstrual blood has tremendous medical utility. Today, women in the US can already order the Q-pad to test their blood glucose levels. This is just the beginning. Qvin is already working on more biomarkers and insights, including cervical cancer screening.
