Problem
Many women experience recurrent vaginal infections and infertility, which can often be linked to imbalances in the vaginal microbiome, yet understanding this complex ecosystem remains challenging. Traditional diagnostic methods often provide incomplete information, leaving women without a clear understanding of their vaginal health.
Solution
Juno Bio offers an at-home vaginal microbiome test that utilizes next-generation sequencing to provide a comprehensive profile of all detectable bacteria and fungi present. This advanced analysis identifies over 10,000 different species and their relative abundance, offering deeper insights compared to traditional PCR tests. Customers receive a detailed report accessible through a private online dashboard, which includes an option to book a consultation with a vaginal health expert to review the results. The test empowers women to proactively manage their vaginal wellness, understand potential causes of recurrent infections or fertility concerns, and make informed decisions about their health.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes women and individuals with vaginas over the age of 18 who are seeking to understand their vaginal microbiome for wellness purposes, particularly those experiencing recurrent infections, fertility concerns, or (peri)menopause symptoms.
