Help Launch CortiCheck: A Lifesaving Tool for Rare Disease Warriors
Every day, patients with Adrenal Insufficiency face life-threatening cortisol crashes known as an Adrenal Crisis—with no way to monitor their levels in real time. CortiCheck is here to change that.
We’re building a handheld, portable blood test cortisol monitor—created by and for the rare disease community—but before we can bring it to the world, we need your help laying the foundation.
What This Campaign Funds
We're raising $80,000 to support "Phase One"—the critical steps that make the full Kickstarter possible:
* Legal and regulatory work (FDA strategy, IP consultation)
* ️Visual design and early concept prototyping
* Kickstarter campaign development (copy, brand story, video)
* Travel costs for the Rare Disease Drug Development Symposium in Boston (Sept 2025)
* Beginning R&D
Why It Matters
CortiCheck isn’t just a device—it’s a movement. It’s a tool patients, physicians and researchers have needed for decades—one that empowers people with real-time data to detect danger before it turns into disaster.
It’s being developed by the rare disease advocates behind Adrenal Insufficiency United, under a new innovation hub: United4Rare LLC. With the help of two outstanding medtech researchers this dream is soon to be a reality. This GoFundMe is the first step in bringing it to life.
What’s Next
After this campaign, we’ll launch a full-scale Kickstarter to fund product development and production. But none of that happens without this first phase.
Your support helps us:
✅ Build the foundation
✅ Pitch CortiCheck to the world
✅ Launch a public campaign that will save lives
Founders Circle Perk:
Donate $1,000+ and you’ll be among the first with the opportunity to purchase a CortiCheck reader—once it’s fully developed and available. We’ll reserve one for you as a thank-you for helping us bring this life-saving device to life.
Note: CortiCheck is currently in early R&D. Distribution will depend on successful product development and any applicable regulatory clearance. This donation is not a pre-order and does not guarantee a delivery timeline.
❤️ Together, We Can:
* Help rare patients live safer, more empowered lives
* Get this device into the hands of families who need it
* Lead the charge for patient-driven innovation
Join the hoofbeats. Fund the future of rare.
Donate. Share. Be part of the CortiCheck revolution.
We’re confident in our incredible science team and fully believe in CortiCheck’s potential to become a reality. While every innovation comes with some level of uncertainty, we’re moving forward with care, skill, and determination. This project was born from the needs of our own rare disease community, and your support is helping us take a critical step toward a safer, more empowered future for thousands of patients. Please note that contributions to this campaign are non-refundable, even if unexpected challenges prevent the monitor from being completed or sold.
