Problem
Individuals are exposed daily to hundreds of environmental chemicals—from plastics and pesticides to personal‑care ingredients—but conventional medical testing does not measure these exposures, leaving people unaware of potential health risks.
Solution
Open Navigation offers an at‑home testing kit that collects a biological sample and sends it to a CLIA‑certified lab where advanced liquid chromatography‑mass spectrometry (LC‑MS) quantifies 313 specific environmental chemicals, including PFAS, microplastics, pesticides, and personal‑care compounds. The prepaid kit is simple to use, and results are delivered via a secure digital dashboard that benchmarks each chemical against population averages. The platform provides personalized risk insights and concrete recommendations to reduce exposure, enabling users to take proactive steps toward better hormonal balance, thyroid health, and overall wellness.
Target Audience
Primary customers are health‑conscious consumers, preventive‑medicine practitioners, and wellness programs seeking detailed exposure profiling to guide lifestyle and detoxification strategies.
