Vaginitis affects most women at least once in their lifetime, yet 50% of initial clinic visits result in misdiagnosis. Motivated by the need for faster, more accurate, and accessible diagnosis, Gyntools developed Gyni™, a deep-learning, AI-based diagnostic platform that revolutionizes vaginitis diagnosis. As the most common feminine medical condition, it is crucial to address the high misdiagnosis rate.
Gyni™ offers an automated, patient-centric solution designed to diagnose various causes of vaginal inflammation, including discharge, itching, or pain. This innovative approach significantly improves the initial evaluation of vaginitis, providing point-of-care diagnosis, guiding more appropriate treatment, reducing healthcare costs, and enhancing patients’ quality of life.
Capable of diagnosing seven vaginitis conditions from a single swab within five minutes, Gyni™ can diagnose 7 (seven) vaginitis conditions from a single swab within 5 (five) minutes: Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), Candida Albicans (CA), Candida Non-Albicans (CNA), Trichomoniasis (TV), Vaginal Atrophy, Desquamative Inflammatory Vaginitis (DIV) and Cytolytic Vaginosis (CV).
Gyntools has initiated the marketing of Gyni™ in Europe and Israel and has secured three contracts with local dealers in Switzerland, Belgium, and S. Korea. The company has received the CE mark in Europe, granting clearance for marketing in Europe and the AMAR clearance from the Israeli Ministry of Health’s medical device regulation unit. Gyntools is in discussion with all the Israeli HMOs regarding GYNI and continues its pilot study which started last year in March with the IDF continues.
With a fundraising goal of $5 million, Gyntools has already secured $1.2 million. The main use of funds will be directed toward FDA-related clinical trials, commercialization, and market development. Gyntools is an alumnus of the Swiss accelerator Tech4eva and MassChallenge accelerator
