NEW WOMEN ’ S HEALTH AND HORMONES MONITORING GADGET IN DEVELOPMENT
Dr Sadeque Reza Khan , Project Leader , said : “ Women will be able to take it everywhere . Women will be able to test both blood and urine , as well as record symptoms , which will provide the most accurate and real-time picture of their health . The device will transfer key data wirelessly to an app and share it with a gynaecologist .”
Heriot-Watt scientists are working on a portable device that will mean women can track and monitor their health and hormones on the go .
The project , which is funded by the Scottish Government , will help identify symptoms that could help diagnose common female health conditions , like polycystic ovary syndrome ( PCOS ), and alert women if their symptoms mean they should see a doctor .
The gadget will be smaller than an iPhone and will keep track of the full picture of women ’ s health , from period symptoms to hormone fluctuations , mood and sleep .
It will capture data on a variety of fertility-related hormones , like luteinising hormone , which stimulates ovulation , and others like thyroid-stimulating hormone .
