Preventive medicine, and more specifically, primordial prevention, is the new health proposition for the world. Yet, women’s health, particularly when linked to menstrual and hormonal disruptions, continues to receive what can only be described as third-world treatment.
Physicians and patients, bound by an unspoken understanding, have chosen to keep working around it, often in awkward silence. That silence, however, is finally being broken:
Proov has stepped into the Robin Hood role the industry didn’t realize it needed. Through its rapid-response progesterone test strips, the company has pushed hormonal diagnostics from the back seat to the front row of women’s healthcare, making early detection both accessible and actionable.
The story behind it is as human as it is innovative. Dr. Amy Beckley, Proov’s founder, spent three years navigating infertility, two IVF rounds, and seven pregnancy losses before discovering that low progesterone was at the root of her struggles. She transformed that realization into a product that helps other women detect hormonal imbalances early, without the long, painful diagnostic journey she endured.
Now FDA-authorized and backed by $10M in Series A funding, Proov is not just a FemTech success story — it’s a business case for how data-driven innovation can redefine reproductive health access, reduce diagnostic latency, and empower women at scale.
At The LifeSciences Circuit, we see Proov as a prime example of how innovation, when rooted in empathy and validated by science, can drive measurable impact; clinically, commercially, and globally.
