Company Snapshot
We are about moving global maternal and newborn care into the 21st century.
New groups-- industrial designers, entrepreneurs, engineers-- are increasingly interested in the power of simple innovations to change lives.
Maternova seeks to build on these seismic changes, to amplify their positive effect on women and their families.
Two very basic questions guide our work. What effective, low-cost tools (in development or on the market) can
save mothers' and newborns' lives in low-resource settings? How can these tools be accessed and distributed?
