Your period: A natural non-invasive blood test
We started exploring the uses of menstrual blood with a team at Stanford University Hospital in 2014. We discovered nothing short of incredible: Period blood is not waste, it’s a unique opportunity to monitor your health as it contains a wide array of health markers.
In other words: Your body performs a natural blood test every month that doesn't require needles or doctor's appointments. Amazing, isn't it?
The Q-Pad: Engineered to collect and analyze period blood
We've built a unique menstrual pad that captures and preserves period blood for medical analysis. It looks and feels like any regular menstrual pad, but inside you will find a paper-based strip embedded. After using the Q-Pad, you remove strip, place it in a secure container, and mail it to our laboratory for analysis.
Start using the Q-Pad
For Clinical Trial research, use the app to link your Q-Pad to your secure profile. We will send you blood test results and provide you with personalized health insights. If there is something out of the ordinary, you will be the first to know, and as we will always suggest actionable next steps or if necessary, offer follow-up testing. A certified Doctor reviews all test results and will contact you if there are any urgent results.
Not a diagnostic test
Qvin offers access to laboratory testing for wellness monitoring, informational and educational use. The tests we offer are not intended to diagnose or treat disease. None of our tests are intended to be a substitute for seeking professional medical advice, help, diagnosis, or treatment. For regulatory reasons, our tests are not available in New York State.
