HIHI FemTech Call Winner 2023

AURIN is a team of researchers from University of Galway and University College Dublin funded by an Enterprise Ireland Commercialisation Fund which is developing a medical device to alleviate severe menopause symptoms.


The AURIN platform is a femtech innovation for the treatment of menopausal vasomotor symptoms (hot flushes and night sweats). The vast majority of woman (80%) develop vasomotor symptoms during perimenopause and menopause. The AURIN device will be a non-invasive medical device which can be delivered safely by a menopause clinician. It will mimic the effects of an existing invasive procedure commonly used. The technology is in development and the team is currently working with a regulatory consultant to map out the most appropriate regulatory pathway.
