Real-Time Hormone Monitoring Goes Mainstream
A new at-home testing device called the Hormometer now enables consumers to track their cortisol levels as easily as checking their smartphone notifications. Developed by women-founded startup Eli Health, the system requires only a saliva sample and a mobile phone to deliver results within 20 minutes, eliminating the need for blood draws or laboratory processing.
“Hormometer’s public launch brings cortisol tracking into daily life, making it as trackable as sleep, HRV or glucose,” Eli Health cofounder and CEO Marina Pavlovic Rivas told CNET. The launch comes after more than five years of research and development focused on making hormone monitoring accessible outside clinical settings.
Addressing Widespread Hormonal Imbalances
The timing appears crucial given current health trends. According to an American Psychological Association survey, most adults experience hormone dysregulation during their lifetimes, with nearly half of American women aged 30-60 reporting symptoms of hormonal imbalance. Cortisol fluctuations can significantly impact these conditions.
“Many people experience fatigue, weight changes or mood shifts without realizing hormones may be involved,” Rivas explained. “For those who aren’t sure if their symptoms might be related to hormonal health, we want to eliminate as much of the barrier as possible by helping them test and track their hormones.”
How the Technology Works
The system operates through a straightforward three-step process:
- Order the kit through Eli Health’s online platform
- Collect a saliva sample using the provided materials
- Scan with your smartphone for immediate results
“The AI-powered Eli app scans the test using your phone’s camera, converts the signal into a precise value and adds it to your trends and insights while providing immediate, actionable suggestions,” Rivas detailed. The technology represents one of over a dozen patent-pending innovations developed during six years of research.
Integrating With Existing Health Monitoring
While not a wearable device, Hormometer complements the growing ecosystem of personal health technology. The system follows the trajectory of over-the-counter continuous glucose monitors and smartwatches that track metrics like heart rate variability and sleep patterns.
The device recently earned the CES 2025 Best Innovation Award in Digital Health, signaling industry recognition for its potential to transform personal health monitoring. As Rivas noted to CNET, when smartwatches detect sleep disruptions, Hormometer can help determine whether cortisol fluctuations contribute to the problem, creating a more comprehensive health picture.
For individuals holding Sleep Science Coach Certification from The Spencer Institute, this technology offers new possibilities for client assessment and personalized recommendations based on objective hormone data.
