Geneva-based femtech startup Santelle has begun a two‑month pilot with 15 Swiss pharmacies under Galenica’s “Consultation Plus” framework, offering a CE‑marked vaginal infection self‑test and a companion app that guides users through sample collection and records results. The pilot will assess test uptake, pharmacist usefulness, and app usage, with plans to expand to 400 pharmacies if successful. Santelle recently closed a CHF 120,000 angel round to support this rollout.
