Eu· dae· mon
Combining “eu” (good) and ‘daimōn’ (spirit), Eudaemonia is a central concept in Aristotelian philosophy associated with positive virtue, excellence, and practical or ethical wisdom. Eudaemon Technologies is combining that essence with Industry 4.0 to revolutionise Sexual and Reproductive Health and Wellness.

Human Flourishing
Eudaemon is a disruptive rapid platform product innovation engine with focus on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Wellness (SRH&W). Formed in 2019, Eudaemon has a focus to provide superior SRH&W products options to every person for every situation. We are bridging internal and partner-based next-gen capabilities in Advanced Manufacturing, Material Science, and Human Centred Design to deliver benefits to consumers, manufacturers, brands, and health agencies. Currently we are focused on platform technologies across traditional and innovative Multipurpose Prevention Technologies (MPTs). Our unique approach to vertically integrate the global value chain is positioned to disrupt the nexus of platform interventions which make up portions of a new category we term the $150B Lifetech market (encompassing the $28B contraceptive market, $13B fertility market and $100B+ STD diagnosis and treatment markets). We are building products that change lives.
Capabilities
Advanced Manufacturing
We develop unique equipment and processes for rapid prototyping of products through pre-clinical and initial clinical work. Currently we are integrating IOT, machine learning/AI, robotics, smart materials, and other Industry 4.0 concepts to disrupt legacy manufacturing and produce systems that are safer, cleaner, and more cost effective.
Medical Grade Materials Science
Eudaemon has exclusive access to FDA cleared materials and APIs, as well as innovative new formulations with opportunities in the SRH&W sector. Combined with extensive internal understanding, our capabilities in optimising both compounds (medicine) and delivery mechanisms (devices) allow us to produce materials for devices that offer enhancements in user desired features while increasing clinical benefits.
User Driven Design
We utilise co-design methodologies to inform design of our products and to pinpoint need by discussions with stakeholders. We are building on traditional methodology by bioneering new neuroscience and preference studies to improve on the way we actually understand how people interact with products. These methods have been designed to integrate with and clinical and regulatory processes to improve safety and effectiveness.
Project Geldom
What if we could make a condom that people couldn’t wait to try? Producing a condom that people actually want to use would
revolutionise safe sex, enhance family planning, sexual health strategies (reduce the 1 million new STIs contracted every day),
save healthcare agencies millions worldwide, as well as disrupt a growing $11 Billion USD market. Project Geldom is making
this concept a reality by creating better feeling condoms made from innovative materials called tough hydrogels. These
tissue-like materials act like rubber, the “gold standard” for condom production used for over a century, but offer superior safe
sex options with enhanced feel and lubrication, no adverse odours or tastes, no allergic reactions, and unprecedented ability to
customize sensual experience for you and your partner.

Beyond The Medicine Cabinet Podcast - The Technology That Has The Sex Industry Covered - Safely!
When it comes to preventing sexually transmitted infections there are limited options. And the options we do have - condoms - lack desirability, so much so that most of us avoid using them. Revolutionising the condom for the first time in over 100 years is Eudaemon Technologies. Their tech, Gel-dom, is turning a ‘need to’ into a ‘want to’ which could have a major impact on the rates of STIs and unintended pregnancies.
