YO Home Sperm Test: A Revolutionary Approach to Male Fertility Testing

Medical Electronic Systems and Rimoni IND Unveil a Smartphone-Based Home Sperm Test

The YO Home Sperm Test is a groundbreaking innovation in the field of male fertility testing. It is a smartphone-based home sperm test that uses a clip-on mini-microscope, the YO Clip, which uses the phone's light and camera to capture and analyze a video of sperm. The YO Clip, which has a patent, achieves a magnification of X400, allowing for a detailed analysis of the sperm sample.

The YO Home Sperm Test was inspired by the need to address a significant global issue - male infertility. Approximately 15% of couples worldwide face infertility, with men contributing to 30% of these cases. In many cultures, men are often not tested for infertility, or only tested after no female cause is established. The YO Home Sperm Test aims to provide a personal, accurate, affordable, and easy-to-use product for men to encourage and support their need to test themselves in order to have kids.

The YO Home Sperm Test is designed to be foolproof, reducing the stress associated with sperm testing. The kit and app provide interactive, step-by-step instructions, animations, and contents, making it nearly impossible to make an error when testing at home. The process is simple: place a drop of sperm on a red dot and the YO slide sucks it in; the YO Clip slides on the phone and focuses automatically to capture a clear sperm video; a funny/informative Sperm Trivia Challenge reduces stress during sample prep time; in 1 minute, YO automatically shows 97% accurate results.

The development of the YO Home Sperm Test required multidisciplinary coordination between clinical, engineering, and software R&D teams. The product underwent rigorous testing for safety and accuracy, with trials involving more than 500 participants. The YO Home Sperm Test is an FDA/CE cleared device, a testament to its reliability and effectiveness.

The YO Home Sperm Test is not just a product, but a significant step forward in addressing the issue of male infertility. It is a testament to the power of innovative design and technology in improving lives. The YO Home Sperm Test was awarded the Golden A' Design Award in 2018, a recognition of its outstanding design and significant impact.
