About LEIA Health

LEIA Health is a VC funded startup based in Stockholm with the vision to reinvent postpartum and parental health for the digital age. Helping the next 280 million parents have a healthier entry into parenthood. LEIA has been named One of Europe’s hottest startups by both Sifted and Wired. 

The Leia app helps users understand and optimize their postpartum health. Screening Models identify users at risk of mental or physical complications, guiding them into the healthcare system to enable preventive measures and treatment.  For users not in need of healthcare we create a personalized recovery journey with data-driven insights about their physical, mental, and sleep health and the tools to change it for the better. We’re currently developing our B2B product where we offer the app as a Parental Leave benefit.
