Gaining Momentum

Zults addresses a high-value public health problem with a verified, regulatory-compliant solution (ISO 13485:2016). The confirmed partnership with Sexual Health London (SHL.UK) provides significant validation and a direct channel to users, distinguishing it from typical wellness apps. However, the submission's claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a 2024-launched app, significantly impacting the traction and response quality scores. The project is in a promising early commercialization phase (Seed stage) but lacks the mass adoption claimed.

Description
Zults is a smart sexual health app built for modern dating - and built to work alongside testing providers and dating apps as an add-on that helps their users communicate STI results with ease. Zults enables users to share their verified STI status in a fast, clear, and stigma-free way - putting trusted sexual health information just a tap away. By making these conversations easier and more accessible, Zults helps reduce the spread of STIs through open communication. In partnership with SHL.UK, Zults launched a free and accessible pilot that allowed users to receive STI results directly from SHL and instantly turn it into Rezults on the Zults app. Rezults are designed to live on their phone. Whether via QR code, external link, user search or added to their digital wallet, Rezults makes it simple to communicate sexual health with a partner, at the right moment. Zults is an add-on for STI testing providers and dating apps, designed to work directly with the platforms people already use. By partnering with both sectors, Zults enhances the user experience, bridges communication gaps around sexual health, and supports public health, without disrupting existing workflows or business models. With a dating-friendly interface, Zults helps break the taboo around sexual health. It meets users where they are - on their phones, in real conversations - and supports confidence, clarity, and choice. Privacy and safety are foundational. Our solution is compliant with medical device regulatory standards ISO 13485:2016 and IEC 62304, meeting the highest standards for data protection and medical reliability. No results are stored by the app; all data is transferred directly from accredited providers like SHL.UK and shared only with user consent. Every feature is designed to protect user privacy and align with how people date today and how they expect to own their data.
