H2OM Technologies
H2OM offers a countertop reader that measures five hormones—testosterone, cortisol, melatonin, DHEA, and estradiol—from a ten-second saliva swab, delivering results on a paired smartphone in under a minute. The system uses a patented chip that converts hormones directly into electrical signals, eliminating the need for needles, lab visits, or color-based test strips. Users can take readings twice daily to track hormonal swings and receive personalized guidance through the companion app.

Problem
Hormone levels fluctuate throughout the day, yet conventional testing—blood draws at a lab—provides only one or two data points per year. Wearables estimate hormone-related metrics from heart rate and movement but never measure actual hormones, leaving users blind to the daily rhythms that affect energy, stress, sleep, and drive.
Solution
H2OM provides a countertop reader that measures five key hormones—testosterone, cortisol, melatonin, DHEA, and estradiol—from a ten-second saliva swab, delivering results on a paired smartphone in under a minute. The patented OEGFET chip converts a hormone landing on it directly into an electrical signal, avoiding the color-change and camera limitations of typical home tests. Users can perform twice-daily readings without needles or lab visits, and the app contextualizes each result against the user's personal baseline, showing trends and actionable insights such as whether cortisol spiked appropriately after waking. The system uses interchangeable sealed cartridges, with additional cartridges for longevity and inflammation metrics planned.
Target Audience
Primary users are health-conscious individuals who want real-time, actionable insight into their daily hormonal rhythms—covering energy, stress, sleep, and drive—without needles or lab visits. The product is positioned as a wellness tool for personal use, with future clinical applications planned.
Features
- Patented OEGFET sensor chip that reads hormones electrically, with no color strip, camera, or needle
- Measures five hormones from a single ten-second saliva swab: testosterone, cortisol, melatonin, DHEA, and estradiol
- Results delivered on a paired smartphone in under a minute, enabling twice-daily at-home testing
- Interchangeable sealed cartridges (VT-01 "Vitali-T" ships in 2027) that click onto the reader, with longevity and inflammation cartridges in development
- Companion app provides personalized context, comparing each reading to the user's usual range and flagging meaningful swings (e.g., cortisol up 4× since last night)
- Core sensing technology published in npj Biosensing (2025) and validated in clinical studies with the Royal Ottawa and Bruyère
