Brün Health Private Limited was a medical technology company established in Delhi, India, in 2014, with a focus on maternal and fetal health. The company was founded by Anirudh Chaturvedi, Prashant Jha, and Balaji Teegala. The venture originated from the Stanford-India Biodesign program, which underscores a foundation in clinical immersion and needs-based development. Brün Health secured a total of $256K in funding over three rounds, including angel investments and a grant from Stanford Biodesign.
The company's core business was the development of an electronic labor monitoring tool designed to decrease stillbirths by tracking the vital parameters of both the mother and the fetus. The product portfolio included two main devices: 'Brün Meena', a portable cardiotocograph wearable for clinical use, and 'Brün Mini', a handheld, cordless fetal doppler for at-home monitoring by expectant mothers. These devices were part of a connected ecosystem that utilized patented technology for detecting vital signs and synced with a supplemental mobile app for iOS and Android. This app allowed for the tracking of collected data, aiming to provide reassurance to mothers and better decision-making tools for doctors. The business model targeted both healthcare providers in clinical settings and direct-to-consumer (B2C) sales for at-home use, with the company website facilitating device purchases.
The technology was specifically designed to function effectively in environments with challenges such as high patient loads, unreliable power, and a shortage of skilled workers, making it suitable for both developing and developed markets. The company also developed 'Pregnancy&Me,' an informational website and app to support users from pre-conception through the postpartum period. Despite its efforts and product development, Brün Health is now listed as out of business as of August 2020.
