Who is MinaRosa?
MinaRosa is a healthcare start-up that offers an effective, discrete, and non-invasive photobiomodulation device to empower women to take control of their health.
This wellness device helps relieve pain and inflammation of Urinary Tract Infections (UTI), along with other reproductive health benefits. It is called MinaRosa because of the Romanian word for light, "lumina", and the similar Romanian word for rose and red, "ros". It is also an homage to Ana's grandmother, Minadora, who died in September 2020.
Hi, my name is Ana Timoficiuc. I have had Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) multiple times a year since I was a kid and, in 2021, I found myself in LA, 3,000 miles away from my doctor, with a UTI in a lot of pain. I had learned of light therapy through my friend, Pete, and I decided to experiment on myself based on a few research papers that I read, placing the light in front of my pelvic area.
After doing this for 20 minutes over four days, my UTI pain completely went away! I haven’t had a UTI since because anytime I feel anything funky going on “down there” I light it up. I wanted to bring this technology to the world to help more women like me. I met Lily Li at the University of Michigan, and it is with her partnership we are now here today.

By women, for women
We understand women, and the frustration of UTI pain. That’s why we spent two years at the University of Michigan designing a non-invasive, easy-to-use, and portable light therapy device—created by women, for women—as a therapeutic alternative to empower individuals, particularly those for whom antibiotics are ineffective, to regain control of their well-being.
