Hello, I'm Melis!

I'm Melis, and I founded Woost with a deep commitment to women's health.

After facing years of pain and uncertainty myself, I knew there had to be a better way to approach gynaecological health. Woost was born out of this vision: to give women the tools to understand and take control of their bodies with insights from menstrual blood.

It’s time we stop waiting for our symptoms to be taken seriously!

Origin Story

In women’s healthcare, delayed diagnosis of gynaecological conditions is more than a gap; it’s a serious crisis. Many of us have been there—living with years of symptoms, only to hear, "It's just part of being a woman."

I’ve lived this myself, I struggled for years, dismissed repeatedly, until I was finally diagnosed with PCOS. The relief of finally understanding my symptoms came too late, and I couldn’t help but think, "There must be a better way."

This experience drove me to create Woost.

With my background as a chemical biologist, I wanted to give women a new, accessible way to monitor their health from home. Imagine a simple blood test, much like a pregnancy test, but one that offers insights from your own menstrual blood, allowing you to track unique biomarkers safely, affordably, and whenever you need.

At Woost, we’re developing a home test kit paired with a digital platform where women can review their results, understand their symptoms, and connect with accurate health information. Our vision extends beyond the test; we’re building an AI-assisted system that tracks symptoms and personalizes insights for women living with PCOS and other gynaecological conditions.

But I believe science grows stronger with community. Your stories, experiences, and support are crucial in building a movement that ensures we will not be overlooked.

Together, we’re creating a future where women can take control of their health—and we’re just getting started.
