User expresses a strong need for Persperity Health's wearable real-time estrogen monitoring device to be available and tailored for trans women, as it would provide a more detailed view of hormone uptake and help in tweaking dosing regimens for better results or a more cis-like hormone experience.
The other day, [somebody posted](https://www.reddit.com/r/TransfemScience/comments/1nhyxqc/caltech_research_developing_a_prototype_device/) in r/TransfemScience about research on a wearable, real time estrogen monitoring device. With some further clicking around, I found that the technology is being developed for the marketplace by a company called [Persperity Health](https://persperityhealth.com/), which has involvement from the Caltech researcher who seems to have come up with the underlying technology. It is (of course) not available in the marketplace yet. And it is (of course) being billed as a solution for women with fertility issues and menopause issues. Obviously those are big market segments, but just as obviously we know how useful that technology would be for trans women and their doctors too. It would give us a far more detailed view of how hormones are taken up by the body depending on dosing method and would be invaluable in tweaking an individual's dosing regimen so as to give them better results or a more cis-like hormone experience or what-have-you. So, a question and an ask: The question is: does anyone here know more about this technology than this, or have information about clinical trials, etc? The ask is: Persperity Health has a "Be the first to know" link where they offer people "be the first to receive exclusive updates, insights, and opportunities to help shape the future of our products." If a whole lot of trans people sign up for that and give them feedback about our specific needs, that can only help. I mean, we're not such a small market segment either. It's just good business!
