Thyra, Princess of Denmark (1853–1933), lived long before anyone could measure a hormone. We named this after her — and after every woman since who's been told her labs are "normal" while she still doesn't feel like herself.
Diagnosed, treated, and stable on paper — TSH comes back "normal," yet symptoms still fluctuate between infrequent lab visits. Sick days, second-guessing, and a system that often can't explain how she actually feels.
Thyra started as a hackathon concept — and won. What began as three days of prototyping a fluorescence-based cassette and a clip-on phone reader turned into a real idea worth pursuing.
We're talking to patients, GPs, and endocrinologists to confirm the workflow, trust, and intended use — before building toward pilot and clinical calibration.
