Yeda is a Berlin-based soft robotics company developing an individualised device for supporting women’s pelvic floor. This is mostly relevant for those suffering from pelvic floor dysfunctions (PFD) like urinary incontinence, which are 50% of all women globally. The team developed an end-to-end solution that offers immediate support based on a silicone inflatable device and longterm training over an app, which is a differentiator from other partial solutions on the market. By combining sensors with a digital solution, they aim to build the biggest database of pelvic floor health. They have validated the product, gained pre-sales over a successful crowdfunding campaign, established a network of physiotherapists for initial distribution and protected the IP with a patent in Europe, Canada and the US.
