About our project
The problem we solve: B-wom's vision is changing selfcare for women, we focus on prevention.
Women, we are complex, and so is our body. We experience many changes through our lives. The truth is that we know some changes will happen, and we find them when we are there, because we don't prepare for it, we don't prevent.
B-wom is a digital health startup focusing on women's intimate health/wellness. As of today, we have an app with personalized care plans, exercises and tracking for pelvic floor with some initial healthy habits and content about health. We are expanding our health scope to cover all these moments on a woman's life, always with the prevention look to all the matters.
We started with pelvic floor, because with just a bit of time a day (10 minutes / day) you can notice real benefits to your body. Pelvic floor affects to: urine leaks, sex, constipation, flat belly and back pain.
About our solution:
B-wom’s personalized approach allows the company to track the evolution, gather detailed feedback and relevant data from users, which can be used to identify patterns and analyze prevalence: health problems, exercise difficulty, symptoms, evolution and behavioral patterns, among others to develop and strength preventive habits or actions.

How we will use the funds raised
We will use these funds primarily for our US expansion, expanding our health scope and developing our first B2B collaborations. This requires the addition of a programmer and a business developer to the team. We will highly invest in marketing actions to consolidate our user base in the US. Additionally, testing the B2C revenue models (subscription + special plan in app purchases) and analyzing the performance/scalability of our B2B pilot programs with health centers and payors. Also, we want to start working with a data analyst to further professionalize the data size of our business and use it to advance care and research.
Thank You
B-wom is changing self-care for women through technology. We are capitalizing on daily-use mobile technologies and big data to change women's selfcare habits. We are helping women prevent intimate health issues by helping them to incorporate healthy habits into their lives, without needing a lot of time or money. When a woman feels good with her body, she feels empowered and she feels she can do anything.
We are aligned with the 3rd (good health and well-being) and 5th (gender equality) Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.
Most of women's digital health startups are focusing on menstruation, fertility, pregnancy or parenthood, but women go through many changes throughout their lives. Knowing about these changes, and knowing how to address them (in a personalized way), could change completely our quality of life. Prevention is key for women's health, and also to reduce healthcare costs.
