The Tough Tech problem we are solving
Despite decades of contraceptive innovation, current highly effective birth control options largely rely on hormones or copper, which cause unwanted side effects, such as menstrual changes and discomfort. Many women stop or switch their birth control because these side effects are intolerable, leaving a critical unmet need for a birth control solution that is both highly effective and free from hormonal or metal-related side effects. Additionally, half of pregnancies are unplanned, leading to significant health, social, and economic challenges worldwide.
