When empathy meets invention, lives are transformed. That’s exactly what JioVio Healthcare’s flagship venture, Savemom, is doing: using smart, wearable technology to revolutionise maternal and child health outcomes in rural India.
Savemom was highlighted in a Nasscom piece titled “From Womb to Cloud” as a brilliant example of how IoT, AI, and design thinking are working together to tackle real-world maternal healthcare concerns.
When A Bracelet Does More Than Just Adorn
Jewellery has long had a special place in women’s hearts, but Entrepreneur Senthilkumar envisioned an even greater purpose: to transform these adornments into life-saving technologies.
Savemom’s unique bracelets and necklaces have tiny IoT sensors that can monitor vitals such as:
- Heart Rate
- Sleep Patterns
- Steps taken and calories burnt.
- Baseline metabolic rate and glucose levels
These devices are visually appealing and serve as non-invasive, wearable health trackers. Connected via Bluetooth, they sync with the user’s smartphone and send real-time information to the cloud. The data is then used to provide daily reminders about prenatal vitamins, hydration, and even sleep.
Powered by IoT, Backed by NASSCOM
JioVio’s innovation drew the attention of NASSCOM’s Centre of Excellence for IoT, which entered Savemom in 2017. This provided visibility, guidance, and access to a large network of innovators and investors, propelling the firm to new heights.
A Glimpse Into The Future of Healthcare
With India’s growing population and rural healthcare deficits, the future lies in scalable, technologically enabled solutions. As said in the blog, wearable technology and artificial intelligence are transforming healthcare delivery, from fitness tracking to chronic disease management. According to forecasts, wearable gadget shipments might reach 430 million devices by 2022.
Savemom is not just a part of this change; it is driving forward by reinventing how healthcare is delivered, monitored, and managed for the most vulnerable.
