About the Company

Wavelet Medical aims to revolutionize fetal health monitoring to eliminate preventable brain injuries at birth, reduce unnecessary C-sections, and improve outcomes for mothers and their babies. While traditional fetal heart rate monitoring is widely used, it has not meaningfully reduced brain injuries and has been linked to increased C-section rates.

Wavelet is building the first non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG) system to measure fetal brain activity during pregnancy and labor. Our technology combines novel sensing hardware with advanced signal processing and machine learning to extract clinically meaningful EEG signals from complex biological noise—enabling earlier, more accurate assessment of fetal neurological health without compromising maternal or fetal safety. This approach supports better clinical decision-making and healthier outcomes during childbirth.

We are a venture-backed, early-stage medtech company advancing toward FDA clearance of a Class II medical device.
