At this year's Startup Battlefield at Disrupt Berlin, Lia Diagnostics was named the grand prize winner for its biodegradable, eco-friendly, flushable and FDA-approved pregnancy test.
Lia is a discreet and sanitary pregnancy test solution that boasts a lightweight, innovative design with a wide collection area. Although Lia boasts a unique look of its own, the test functions the same way as conventional pregnancy tests—but with less plastic—offering either one or two lines that represent positive or negative results with more than 99% accuracy.
Those who visit the official Lia website have the chance to donate a test to organizations such as Planned Parenthood and others that support women. In the new year, Lia is set to be sold online through the company's website.
