Best of Baby Tech Award in the category pregnancy and fertility goes to Ava!

The winners of the second annual The Bump Best of Baby Tech Awards at CES 2017 were announced. The winners, recognized for their leading innovations in fertility, pregnancy and baby technology, were honored at an awards ceremony hosted by The Bump and Randi Zuckerberg, digital lifestyle expert, on the LIDT Stage at CES Tech West.

The Venture Kick and venture leaders alumnus Ava got under the TOP 100 in 2016 and was founded with IFJ. Now they won an award for the best pregnancy and fertility solution. The Swiss start-up developed a fertility tracking bracelet that detects five fertile days per cycle in real time - more than any other method. It brings together sleep, stress, and menstrual cycle monitoring into a single device, worn only at night. Ava tracks a woman’s cycle in a fundamentally different way than any other method available, monitoring subtle changes in pulse rate, breathing rate, sleep quality, movement, heart rate variability, skin temperature, heat loss, perfusion, and bioimpedance. By tracking a wide variety of parameters, Ava can detect the fertile window in real-time during a woman’s current cycle.

Ava is an FDA-approved Class 1 medical device. It was shown to detect an average of 5.3 fertile days per cycle in a year-long study at the University Hospital of Zurich. iOS only, Android coming soon.
