Evvy: Understanding the Female Body
Evvy is a female-founded startup building a new understanding of the female body.
Our at-home vaginal microbiome test is the first to leverage metagenomic sequencing to help anyone with a vagina understand what's up down there, why it matters, and what they can do about it.
Why the Vaginal Microbiome?
Turns out, at least 30% of people with vaginas suffer from imbalances in the vaginal microbiome every year (read: bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and UTIs). What's more — the latest research has uncovered groundbreaking links between the vaginal microbiome and infertility, STIs, preterm birth, gynecologic cancers, and more.
But even though the vaginal microbiome is an important biomarker, women and people with vaginas have never had access to that information about their own bodies — until now.
