DORAL, Florida, Oct. 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) (“ETST" or the “Company"), an innovative biotech company focused on the cannabidiol (CBD), nutraceutical and pharmaceutical fields, medical devices, and research and development, today details its branding strategy for Hygee™, a medical device designed for the detection of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in women. With plans to market Hygee™ on five continents, ETST is deploying a striking graphic identity that will speak directly to women.
A play on the Greek word for “hygiene,” the name Hygee™ integrates intimacy, confidentiality and discretion. Hygee™ looks like - and is worn like - a standard panty liner. Aptly named, the device allows a woman to discreetly take her own sample for testing to detect STIs, starting with chlamydia.
“From the name of the device to specifics of the logo, our branding strategy reflects the personal yet crucial nature of the Hygee™ self-sampling kit. We wanted to make the brand memorable, yet simple enough to promote its ease-of-use,” states Nickolas S. Tabraue, president, director and chairman of ETST. “Hygee™ is associated with peace of mind, protection, security, health and wellness.”
The positioning of “Personal feminine health test” explains the purpose of the product. Set under the logo, it gives the target market the context needed to better understand the brand.
The tagline, “Accurate, Simple and Discreet,” reflects the personal nature of the product.
ETST CEO and Chief Science Officer Dr. Michel Aubé said, “Hygee™ is designed to preserve women’s health. Our goal is to act upstream to give women the control and the information they need to avoid severe health complications from STI.”

The Market
While STIs are a serious problem worldwide, the rates of infection across the USA have increased for the third consecutive year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The market for Hygee™ is considerable, as no one uses this technology to perform the 100 million tests for Chlamydia trachomatis done around the world each year. ETST believes Hygee™ will be an ideal tool for high throughput screening of individuals who want to know if they are infected with STIs like chlamydia and gonorrhea. It is accepted that young women are also at higher risk, and this is why ETST will market Hygee™ to target that demographic.
“The best way to fight STIs is prevention, and the only way for women to avoid the dangerous results of untreated STI is early treatment. This means that women need to know if they are infected. We believe that Hygee™ will be the best tool to provide that information. ETST will target specific populations of women globally to better counter the STI epidemic,” said Dr. Aubé.
