The technology behind the most precise1 fertility hormone readings at home.
Spectral Mapping is Inito’s patented hormone-reading technology that replaces the phone’s camera with a standalone reader, using both fluorescence and colorimetric sensing to capture richer data from the test strip and measure fertility hormones with greater precision at home.

It powers the new Inito InSight Wireless Reader™.

Spectral Mapping improves hormone measurement in three key ways:

  1. Each hormone is measured independently
  2. Verifies results with dual signal detection
  3. It captures over 100x richer data from every test

Together, these are what make Spectral Mapping distinct & superior.

4 Hormones. 4 Independent Tracks.

Supporting Image 1

Inito measures Estrogen, LH, PdG, and FSH on a single strip. But measuring multiple hormones is only useful if each signal stays distinct.

With Spectral Mapping, Inito measures these hormones across four independent tracks. That helps keep one hormone’s shift from interfering with another, so every reading stays precise.

That means cleaner data, clearer trends, and results you can trust — test after test.

Only Inito Double-Checks Every Result in Two Ways.

Supporting Image 2

Most at-home readers rely on just one way of reading a strip. Inito uses two sensing methods.

Spectral Mapping combines fluorescence and visual colorimetric imaging to double-check every test before producing a final result. That helps detect subtle hormone shifts that other readers can miss, while creating a more dependable reading system behind every result.

Two sensing methods. One verified result.

Captures 100x Richer Signal Data.

Supporting Image 3

Traditional readers rely on a narrow read of the strip. Spectral Mapping is designed to go much further.

It captures a full 2D image of the entire test surface over time, collecting over 100x richer signal data from every test. That gives the system a deeper, richer set of information to work from before generating the final reading.

That richer signal data also helps our algorithm for real-world variables like lighting, humidity, and dust — delivering lab-grade reliability at home.

This is a key part of how Spectral Mapping improves precision: not by relying on a single quick read, but by building on a much deeper view of the strip.

Why This Technology Matters

Spectral Mapping is designed to improve how fertility hormones are measured at home.

By combining:

  • four independent hormone tracks
  • dual-signal verification
  • 100× richer signal data

It powers the technology behind the most precise¹ fertility hormone readings at home.

It is the technology platform behind the new Inito InSight Wireless Reader™.

Built on Inito’s Broader Research Foundation

Spectral Mapping is new technology inside the new reader, but it builds on Inito’s broader hormone-tracking system.

Published research on Inito’s hormone-measurement approach has shown:

  • high assay precision across key hormones
  • no cross-reactivity with the urinary metabolites tested
  • strong alignment between urinary and corresponding blood hormone trends
  • published support for ovulation confirmation among users testing at home

Disclaimer: 1 – ‘Most precise’ refers to system-level precision measured in controlled laboratory testing, based on lower between-device variability across key hormones, concentrations, operators, days, and strip lots. Compares Inito to other U.S. over-the-counter at-home fertility monitors that provide numeric or graded hormone values and measure the same hormones as Inito.
