FOR CLINICIANS
In-house prototype testing confirms proof of concept through tests for functionality and design.
Two patient-facing studies conducted in 2025 across the US and India identified screening barriers, with research presented at the ACOG District VI & VII Annual Meeting.
Hands-on prototype testing with women's health, family medicine, and emergency room clinicians at UChicago, Cleveland Clinic, Family Care Network, and others.
+49% more patients said they'd be likely to be seen with our device than with a traditional speculum.
37% of patients actively search for speculum alternatives.
Vaginal exams are crucial for routine preventative care and medical symptom evaluation in patients with female reproductive anatomy. SakuraMed's 2025 US patient-facing research study with over 500 responses shows a need for innovation in pelvic exam technology.
For medical providers, the duck-bill-shaped speculum is over 150 years old and does not adapt well to diverse patient bodies, resulting in inefficiencies that require the patient to undergo repeat examinations, and lost revenue due to high rates of last-minute cancellations.
Our hands-on bench testing study with women's health, family medicine, and emergency room clinicians is underway, and is already completed at UChicago, Cleveland Clinic, Family Care Network, and Cook County Hospital. Join the clinicians shaping the tool you'll use.
