we will continue to prototype, test, and refine the speculum and the pelvic exam experience. We’re actively recruiting partners interested in bringing Yona’s vision into the exam room.

Taking care of them should be too. There is no reason why the responsibility of caring for your vagina should involve such routine discomfort that many people delay, or even forgo, their pelvic exams.

That’s a lot of awkward scootching and cold butts on crinkly paper. This important routine exam affects half the population but remains inefficient and archaically inconsiderate of the patient’s physical and emotional needs. * Despite how substantial this number seems, there is still a huge proportion of people who do not have access, due to factors including insurance cost and the scarcity of OBGYN providers.
