🚨 Your period might soon do more than track your cycle — it could help track your health. Scientists at ETH Zurich have created a prototype called MenstruAI — a menstrual pad with a built-in test strip that can screen for key biomarkers linked to:

🩸 Inflammation (CRP)
🩸 Endometriosis (CA-125)
🩸 Certain gynecological cancers (CEA, CA-125)
Results can be checked with the naked eye or scanned in an app powered by AI — all using your natural menstrual flow. No needles. No lab visit.
⚠️ It’s still in testing, but researchers say this innovation could make early health screening more accessible worldwide.
💬 Would you trust a “smart pad” like this for your monthly health checks?
