TechCrunch ☛ Amazon scraps secret fertility-tracking project
Amazon has shut down a 4-year-old secret program working on a fertility monitoring device and accompanying smartphone app, CNBC reported.The project, which was known by the codename “Encore,” evolved out of Amazon’s 2020 purchase of a startup called bluDiagnostics, which was developing a device that measured the levels of estradiol and progesterone — two of the hormones responsible for fertility in women — from saliva samples.Amazon planned to release the product this year, but the team of approximately 100 people ran into technical challenges, according to the report. Encore was a part of Amazon’s Grand Challenge initiative, a secretive lab known for taking on bold or moonshot projects like cancer research.
