They developed a “pregnancy wearable”, a patch with a small device that sticks to the baby bump and measures contractions by reading the electrical activity of uterine muscle.

Also, one of the most awesome idea of the start-up is that you do not need to buy the wearable. Since it is useful for you only for a limited time, the company is leasing the product instead of selling it.

What does solar energy have to do with education? A lot, actually. In developing regions, parents often send children to work at an early age instead of letting them go to school. That’s what the “Solar Cow Project” aims to change. Pupils can plug in their milk bottle-shaped portable batteries into the charging station, the “cow” when they arrive at school and bring home the recharged power banks. Electricity could be scarce in these regions of Africa, so parents who let their children to school save money and time: the cow is free to “milk”, and it could spare a 4-6-hour long walk to the nearest charging station. Although it’s not a digital health project, we couldn’t get by its cleverness without a mention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But solar cows are only the beginning.
