We are overjoyed to announce that Harvard Business Publishing Education, a world authority in academic materials for management Education, has featured Savemom! The case study “Savemom: The Smart Wearable Solution for Maternal Health Care” was published by Ivey Publishing on July 28, 2022, and highlights the company’s remarkable path of Social Entrepreneurship, Creativity, and perseverance.
Savemom was established by two dedicated Social Entrepreneurs under the auspices of JioVio Healthcare Private Limited with the specific and potent goal of lowering India’s Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) by using technology-based healthcare solutions. To assist pregnant moms, especially in Rural areas, the entrepreneurs created a cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT) platform that is enhanced by wearable technology and intelligent medical equipment.
The case highlights how Savemom:
- Helped identify avoidable pregnancy issues early on.
- Provided pregnant women with real-time monitoring via a wearable gadget.
- Gave access to medical staff members to critical patient health information.
- Used a design thinking methodology to continuously refine and enhance their solutions in response to input from stakeholders.
Even though Savemom made great strides in enhancing care for expectant mothers, the entrepreneurs encountered a significant obstacle: physicians felt overburdened by the vast amount of patient data they had to go over every day. The Savemom team was inspired by this input to further improve their processes, demonstrating the spirit of constant innovation and problem-solving that is fundamental to genuine social entrepreneurship.
Why This Case Matters
This case study is now being used in graduate-level management programs worldwide to teach key concepts in:
- Social Entrepreneurship
- Design Thinking and Innovation

It highlights the difficulties social entrepreneurs encounter in the real world, the iterative process of creating human-centered solutions, and the difficulties of operating in social environments that are sensitive to cultural differences.
We are honoured to witness Savemom’s tale motivate the upcoming generation of global entrepreneurs and activists!
