pregnolia ensures that every woman can have a happy, healthy and informed pregnancy until term. Our team knows that the existing research about preterm birth assessment is very promising, but this alone does not guarantee success. Sabrina, Francisco and Annette are highly committed to develop the commercial version of the device, complete the clinical trial, follow the regulatory roadmap and execute on our business vision to successfully support gynaecologists in improving the preterm birth risk assessment and birth management.
