flag France funds €21M endometriosis saliva test, but experts question its validity and clinical value.

flag France has invested 21 million euros in the Endotest, a saliva-based endometriosis diagnostic tool developed by startup Ziwig, promoting it as a non-invasive breakthrough. flag Despite government backing and claims of AI and microRNA technology, experts question its validity due to limited, unrepresentative studies and lack of independent verification. flag The French Health Authority acknowledges the test’s diagnostic performance but stresses its clinical utility remains unproven and restricts reimbursement to cases where other imaging fails. flag Critics warn the heavy focus on Endotest risks diverting funding from other research, such as improved ultrasound, and may hinder broader innovation.
