Lōvu Health
Lōvu Health is a Cupertino-based digital maternal health company that follows mother and baby from pre-conception through two years postpartum. It pairs connected home devices - a blood pressure monitor, smart scale and fetal Doppler - with a pregnancy navigator, an OB-facing dashboard, and a marketplace of 50+ specialty vendors, using real-time remote patient monitoring and AI to catch complications like preeclampsia and perinatal depression earlier.
Bloomlife
Bloomlife is a San Francisco maternal health company that pairs FDA-cleared wearable sensors with a connected-care platform so high-risk pregnancies can be monitored from home. Born from a co-founder's own NICU experience, the company shifts prenatal care out of the clinic and into the living room - tracking fetal heart rate, blood pressure and glucose, then feeding the data to clinicians through risk-stratification tools meant to catch complications earlier.
Eric Dy
Eric Dy, PhD is the co-founder and CEO of Bloomlife, a San Francisco-based women's health company building connected care solutions for maternal and fetal monitoring. A biomedical engineer by training (Cornell BSc, UCLA MSc and PhD), Dy spent four years at IMEC - Europe's leading R&D institute - establishing 17 partnerships worth $25M+ in revenue before launching Bloomlife in 2014. His personal experience watching his wife navigate a high-risk pregnancy - gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, placental complications, preterm labor, and a son who spent his first month in the NICU - drove him to attack the most underserved gap in American healthcare. Bloomlife's FDA-cleared MFM-Pro wearable lets high-risk pregnant patients be monitored at home, replacing the endless clinic visits that define the current broken system. The company raised a $12.2M Series A in September 2024 and has secured reimbursement across 18 payers.
