while working in a Harvard engineering lab after getting laded from all the blood samples she was giving re teral became desperate for an alternative like really desperate as she told the New York Times of April 1 2016 we have an opportunity every month to collect blood samples from women without needles but right now it's all going in

the waste basket so terol turned trash into science and developed a way to collect medical information from used feminine hygiene products and now she's empowering those with female anatomy to track vital reproductive health information from the comfort of home by patenting the world's first smart tampon as The Huffington Post of May 11th 2016 illuminates menstrual flow

contains more than just blood it's also rich with cells shed by the ovaries and uterus opening up a window to women's bodies unlike a normal or dumb tampon the smart tampon has the potential to replace a yearly trip to the gyno from cancer screenings to fertility planning to diagnosing STI this device could revolutionize

reproductive Health monitoring and treatment the Kaiser Foundation reported on October 21st 2016 even with the Affordable Care Act nearly 18 million women were left uninsured in 2016 and considering the CDC on November 15th 2016 reported STD contraction in the US is at an all-time high clinical trials can't end soon enough so background

impacts and implications of a device that's essentially a Fitbit for your lady bits since 1976 about 200 different types of tampons have been patented and according to the women's Media Center on January 11th 2016 about three out of every four have been designed by men let's begin with the history of the smart tampon how it started and what it

is first ter all's invention came from her own experience as a woman in the American Healthcare System at 33 and dedicated to her career she wondered whether she should freeze her eggs or drop everything and begin a family but her insurance refused to cover fertility Services since she had not failed trying to conceive naturally

as she told the Harvard Gazette of April 4th 2016 fertility is more than a heteronormative issue one of the biggest problems in our healthare system is a reactive Paradigm women should have access to the information that's theirs whenever they want it so she along with her business partner Steven Greer started the company

NextGen Jane to develop a variety of devices empowering women while fighting a patronizing healthare system their first design the smart tampon so next how it works in a personal interview on March 24th 2017 terel acknowledged with the tampon still in clinical trials there's not much she can release about the price or the products

mechanics but in her keynote address to the technology Venture conference at Cambridge in June of 2016 ter all explains the only difference between her smart tampon and a platex is all natural cotton not only are the chemicals and fragrances found in regular tampons unsafe for women but for the smart tampon could produce false positives

during testing and despite the name there's no chips or transmitters either the smart part happens outside of the body think of it like a diabetes glucose monitor testing your blood sugar once a smart tampon is full a woman places it in a tiny testing device to deposit the blood then throws the tampon away the

blood cells in micro mobal information are analyzed before sending results to your smartphone terel kept the tech outside of the body because the idea of a Bluetooth microchip tracker inside her vagina gave her the heie GBS me too Health equality isn't just important for terel as a woman as she told a conference for minority scientist on

December 1st 2016 as a first generation immigrant representation in science is more important now than ever before the smart tampon also impacts both reproductives testing and stigmatization first the smart tampon could revamp female reproductive testing as explained on the products website last updated January 1st 2017 one of NextGen Jane's biggest focuses has been

on the study of reproductive conditions like endometriosis traditionally only an invasive procedure can diagnose this rare condition condition and it often comes several years too late but a smart tampon tests directly from the source and often not only diagnosing but also utilizing genetic biomarkers to predict a patient's probability of developing the disease the Mayo Clinic on August

20th 2016 explains early detection is vital since the disease is difficult to diagnosed and if left untreated could cause infertility and the same goes for STI the New York Times on June 4th 2016 acknowledges most reproductive Cancers and STI are nearly impossible to diagnose because unlike men women are often asymptomatic replacing yearly doctor

visits with atome monthly checkups could be more than beneficial it could be lifesaving next this device seems so simple as bustle of April 14th 2016 points out it's kind of ridiculous we haven't thought of this until now as the previously cited Harvard Gazette reminds menstration STI and fertility problems are not trendy topics but quantifiable self- Health

knowledge collected from Apple watches Health apps and fitness trackers is totally trendy the smart tampon collects the most personal information possible blood as Steven GRE continue to the Harvard Gazette if we can make periods just as talked about as step goals it will not only allow women to be proactive in their reproductive

conditions but it makes a commitment to women's healthare a trendy social responsibility one of the biggest concerns for investors was the fact this device only benefits half the population as they told the previously mentioned New York Times it doesn't seem fair this device is only for women and argued is there a way to re-engineer it to test

testosterone questions like the these lead to two implications first the New England Journal of Medicine on January 28th 2016 warns DIY medical devices seeking to replace doctors should not only raise an eyebrow they should only be used by those who would have no access to health care without the device with the ability

to track your own reproductive Health trips to the doctor could seem unnecessary unless the smart tampon tells you to make one but home tests can't replace a full medical exam and we've seen it happen before in 2013 when Angelina Jolie preemptively received the double masectomy after doctors reported she had a genetic abnormality making her

87% more likely to develop breast cancer The Daily Mail on October 2nd 2013 revealed double momies in the UK quadrupled with women asking for the procedure even when they didn't need it rather than empowering women to take charge of their reproductive Health the smart tampon may make women think they have the information of a medical

professional when they have anything but finally while NextGen Jane intended to serve as an outlet for women to combat reproductive stigma they could simply reinforce the idea anything surrounding the vagina should be treated in a private and therefore expensive manner as terel told the previously mentioned New York Times nobody wants to be seen standing in line at a clinic to

get a chlamydia test women want to test themselves at home and we can charge a premium for that privacy so we're trying to push that angle bringing reproductive care to ones on bathrooms sounds ideal it puts the power back into the hands of the women who use it but only for those who can

afford it our current Administration has continually threatened to defund Health Centers like PL Parenthood concerning considering the verge of December 12th 2016 reminds their primary mission is to help patients who might not otherwise get adequate access to healthcare social stigma is reinforced by economic privilege and the smart tampon may be furthering societal

expectations the company was meant to combat as terel told me in the previously cited personal interview next gen Jane has plans to implement this technology into pads Diva cups and other menstration products making this Tech even more accessible after analyzing the background impacts and implications the smart tampon probably isn't the end to

our ministration taboos but it is definitely what the aformentioned bustle calls bloody amazing
