Regular smear tests could be a thing of the past thanks to a new women's health business. Yoni Health is launching Europe's first 'period bank', which aims to provide women with the opportunity to take control of their health.
The period bank, which will officially launch later this year, will allow women to donate their menstrual sample, which will be analysed by scientists for vital research. This not only has the potential to replace regular smear tests, but it could also aid with the diagnosis of conditions such as endometriosis.
Entrepreneurial duo and women’s health advocates Karli Büchling and Emma Jarvis are behind Yoni Health. Yoni Health aims to break the stigma surrounding women's health. Through its market research, the business found that 89% of women would be happy to submit a menstrual sample.
