Problem
Endometriosis, affecting 1 in 10 women, often faces a significant diagnostic delay, averaging ten years due to the normalization of painful periods and a lack of early detection tools.

DotLab offers DotEndo, a non-invasive blood test designed to aid in the diagnosis of active endometriosis across all stages of the disease. DotEndo measures specific biomarkers in the blood, utilizing biostatistics to identify a unique signature indicative of endometriosis, regardless of hormone levels, menstrual cycle phase, or specific symptoms. By providing earlier and more accessible diagnostic information, DotEndo aims to shorten the diagnostic journey, enabling timely intervention and preventing further disease progression. The test addresses the diagnostic gap by offering an advanced, non-invasive, and actionable tool for clinicians.
