Inne’s saliva test gains UK approval; a ‘new era’ for contraception

Inne, a healthtech startup empowering women to understand their reproductive health, has ‘broken through decades of stagnation’ in women’s health and become what it says is the first new tech-enabled contraception to receive certification in the UK and Europe with its Minilab saliva test device.

Following a year-long clinical study in which 300 women tracked over 1,500 cycles, inne received certification as a new modern, technology-enabled contraception method. The study found that inne’s biosensor Minilab was 100% effective for perfect use – how well a contraception method works under perfect conditions – and 92% for typical use – which reflects normal use under real-life conditions. This is similar to the pill, which is 99% effective for perfect use and 93% for typical use.

Inne’s Minilab, a small device that can be easily used at home each day, is on sale now, with thousands of women already using the tool to track and monitor their cycles according to the company.
