About ZC

ZC is a private Israeli company that was formed to commercially exploit a number of patents and patent applications with respect to an AI smart tampon-like device, designed to treat Candidiasis and transfer the medical information via Wi-Fi to the doctor. ZC technology is a combination of a therapy light source with a selected wavelength and intensity and a transparent gel-based drug delivery system to maintain the optimum Ph level in the vagina.
