In 30 seconds
- LRT, Lithuania’s national broadcaster, featured Muuza as an AI tool helping women understand their body’s signals1.
- Muuza was selected for an EU programme that lets it test the tool with European hospitals in clinical settings1.
- Kickstart Lab, run by Innovation Agency Lithuania, recognised Muuza as one of its best ideas and invested in it1.
In March 2026, LRT, Lithuania’s national public broadcaster, featured Muuza in its science and technology section. The article, based on a press release from Innovation Agency Lithuania, described Muuza as an AI-based digital tool that helps women better understand their body’s signals1.
The problem LRT described
Women’s intimate health still gets too little attention. It’s a topic many people feel shy talking about, and that stops women getting timely help1.
Muuza’s co-founder and CEO, Dr Nemira Žilinskaitė-Tranas, explained where the idea came from: women often lack fast, reliable information about their health, and even when symptoms appear, they delay seeking help1.

Digital technology and medical knowledge
According to the article, Muuza brought together a strong team of technical and medical specialists from the start. Combining digital and AI technologies with up-to-date medical knowledge opens a new way to look at intimate health and makes it easier for women to look after their wellbeing1.
Because of its potential, the solution was selected for a European Union product-testing programme. This lets Muuza work with European hospitals and test the tool in clinical settings1.
Good to know
“We work together with doctors, rely on scientific data and test the solution in real situations.” That is how Nemira summed up Muuza’s approach to LRT, adding that trust and clarity matter especially in women’s health1.
The role of Kickstart Lab
Muuza took part in Kickstart Lab, Innovation Agency Lithuania’s youth entrepreneurship programme for founders up to 29 years old. Nemira told LRT the programme gave the project more clarity and structure. Innovation Agency Lithuania pointed to Muuza as an example of a team that refined its business model and attracted real funding through the programme1.
Kickstart Lab’s three winning teams — including Muuza — were later shown on the Nasdaq tower in Times Square2.
Why it matters
National coverage helps bring a “taboo” topic into the open. Every woman who reads about vaginal health in a mainstream news outlet is a reminder that these symptoms are common, normal to talk about, and worth checking.

When to see a doctor
- Muuza gives insight, not a diagnosis.
- If you have pain, a fever, bleeding after sex or between periods, or symptoms in pregnancy, contact your GP, NHS 111 or a sexual health clinic.
Quick check: How many women were on Muuza’s waiting list when LRT featured it in March 2026?
More than 2,0001.
