Episode 70 -Tech Meets Cycle Wisdom: Pioneering the Future of Non-Hormonal Birth Control with Eirini Rapti of inne

🐚Topics coveredWhy measuring progesterone directly changes everythingThe difference between temperature tracking & hormonal dataHow technology can be a conversation partnerWhat true contraceptive autonomy requiresWhy contraception should be collective responsibilityThe shift that happens when you stop the pillHow to evaluate "non-hormonal" optionsThe pharmaceutical industry's response to declining pill useNature's collective design of fertilityAbout Eirini RaptiEirini started inne in 2017 motivated by her own desire to use natural contraception, but realised that traditional natural fertility methods were almost impossible to use reliably in real life. She was determined to find a way of leveraging technology to enable all women to have a greater understanding of their bodies and take control of their contraceptive choices, so that they could make the most of their careers and relationships. Eirini set about developing a saliva biosensor device that enables women to identify and predict the fertile phase in their natural cycle. Based on her own experience and through multiple user interviews, Eirini understood that a new product had to be compatible with a busy daily life, simple and hygienic to use, and more insightful than the period-tracking apps already on the market.Where to find Eirini Rapti and Inne📝Website: https://inne.io/ 📷Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inne_io/ About the HostI’m Iris Josephina, a functional hormone specialist, orthomolecular hormone coach, and entrepreneur.
