Inito launches portable ovulation test kits

AHMEDABAD: Inito, a medical technology startup building the next generation of portable diagnostic devices that are easy to use, has launched a fertility monitor that will enable women to track their ovulation days at home in an easy and convenient way.

The device, launched after a pilot run of six months with around 100 users, enables smartphones to perform lab-grade medical diagnostic tests at home using a single portable device.

According to the company, one of the reasons for anxiety in couples trying to have a baby is not knowing the ovulation days. “Going to the lab for follicular ultrasound scans multiple times every cycle is very strenuous and ovulation kits can be unreliable and do not work for the hormone levels of Indian women at times,” said co-founder of Inito, Aayush Rai, a IIT Roorkee alumnus.


Inito’s fertility diagnostic device comes with the an app and test strips. The test works by identifying upto six fertile days. The test strips are dipped in urine and put in the device, the device is then attached to the phone and the app displays the result.

Inito Fertility Test not only measures Estrogen & Luteinizing Hormone (LH) but also understands cycle variations and gives accurate results unique to every individual woman’s cycle and thus increases the chance of her getting pregnant naturally by 89%, claims the company.

The Bangalore-based startup was started in 2015 and has a team that consists of engineers, scientists and doctors with past experience at IIT's, Siemens, NASA, Narayana Healthcare and Samsung.
