Biohacker Bryan Johnson has teased the launch of a 'techno tampon' to track his girlfriend Kate Tolo's period, part of a $2.6 million effort to collect 14 million data points on her menstrual cycle.
The 'Don't Die' tech mogul revealed that Tolo's daily routine involves over 100 tasks, more than 50 gadgets to monitor bodily functions, and regular blood, urine, and stool samples. She also uses a specialized sleep ring and the mysterious 'techno tampon'.
Cryptic Details and First Look
In a cryptic email, Johnson told the Independent: 'We will be sharing more on that soon.'
The device was reportedly showcased in a picture published by The Wall Street Journal, described as 'an acrylic device inserted into her vagina, which she said is intended to track blood-flow variations.'
Goal: Advance Female Healthcare
Johnson, whose $2 million-a-year anti-ageing routine was featured in the Netflix documentary 'Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever,' said the main aim is to advance female healthcare. He stated: 'Women are not well understood medically. Kate will provide the most comprehensive data set on a female menstrual cycle in history.'
On social media, Johnson explained that Tolo is collecting the data with a dedicated 12-person medical team. 'This is a world first for female health,' he wrote. 'This will be the most quantified menstrual cycle ever. And this is just to collect baseline measurement. Once we're done with the 100 days, we'll start trying interventions.' He also promised to 'post all results including the good, bad and ugly in addition to sharing all the practical insights.'
Cost and Personal Health Context
The project has an estimated price tag of $2.6 million per year, bankrolled by the couple's venture, Immortals, which offers supplements, prescription drug access, and medical services.
The intense monitoring follows Tolo's recent diagnosis with endometriosis, polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, and adenomyosis. She has suffered from severe menstrual pain for years. Johnson also shared his own health battle with autoimmune gastritis, describing his stomach as 'eating itself.' He said: 'Had I not taken care of my body during the past five years, the situation would be much worse so I am very grateful to have been focused on health.'
