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 $50,000 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)
* Contingency and production buffers
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 fundraiser 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.

✅ Build the foundation
✅ Pitch CortiCheck to the world
