Embryo - Every Beat Matters

Home Fetal Monitoring Device

Embryo is a fetal ECG monitoring device designed for use at home to ensure the safety of both mother and baby in high-risk pregnancies. It detects fetal distress, such as hypoxia or asphyxia, by analyzing the QRS complex via ECG, providing crucial support to expectant mothers, while reducing hospital visits. It is ergonomic, wireless, and seamlessly integrates into clothing with its customizable fabric cover.

JURY STATEMENT

Embryo offers real-time information and peace of mind to expectant mothers with high-risk pregnancies. It blends medical precision with emotional care, reducing hospital visits and reimagining prenatal care. More than a medical device, this device embodies awareness and care, reflecting a mother’s dedication to her baby’s well-being. Exemplifies the best of medical design.

WINNER STATEMENT

“This award is very meaningful for me, and I am truly grateful. Embryo was born from the desire to listen to life before it begins, giving voice to those who cannot yet speak by listening to their hearts.”
