In a world where maternal healthcare remains a luxury for many, Savemom, powered by JioVio Healthcare, is rewriting the rules. From Tamil Nadu villages to worldwide venues like Crunchbase, Savemom’s journey is one of innovation meeting impact — and the world is taking note.
This recent feature on Crunchbase, one of the world’s premier platforms for startup intelligence, is more than just a milestone; it validates a project that began in a distant community, fuelled by personal suffering and purpose.
The Spark Behind Savemom
The narrative began when Mr.Senthilkumar Murugesan, a senior Engineer at Qualcomm, experienced a personal crisis. His pregnant sister, who lived in a rural community, was unable to receive timely maternal care. That moment of hopelessness laid the groundwork for something remarkable.
Mr.Senthil, together with co-founders Mr.Dhinesh Pandian and Mr.Sunder Jagannathan, founded JioVio Healthcare with a simple mission: to minimise mother and newborn mortality through proactive, accessible, and technologically enabled care.
From Vision to Reality: What Savemom Offers
At the centre of JioVio’s inventions is Savemom, an IoT-based maternal healthcare platform that is closing the healthcare gap in rural India. This is how it works.
- Wearable devices track vital indications such as Heart rate, Blood Pressure, and oxygen levels in real time.
- Medical kits allow frontline healthcare professionals to perform diagnostics in the most remote locations.
- Smartphone apps connect mothers, health workers, and Doctors to provide immediate alerts and interventions.
This ecosystem ensures that every mother, regardless of distance from a Hospital, is observed and cared for.
The Crunchbase Feature: Why It Matters
Being featured on Crunchbase means gaining the worldwide spotlight. It placed Savemom in the same conversation as the world’s best impact-driven startups, providing investors, partners, and changemakers with a more in-depth look at their journey. But, more crucially, it raises the profile of maternal health as a global concern.
- Crunchbase featured Savemom’s innovative product portfolio, which includes Allowear, a predictive smartwatch for maternal health.
- Its founders’ credentials and extensive technical background.
- Key investors and supporters include She Capital, BIRAC, and JioGenNext.
Savemom has received global attention for its efforts, including appearances in the Amazon Prime series Mission Startab, a case study at Harvard Business School, and the Gifted Citizen Award from the Nobel Prize team.
