Technology that connects and welcomes
We transform obstetric management into something simpler, more human, and connected.
Our Story
Gest Life was born in 2023, during Startup Weekend, from the union of an obstetrician, a medical student, and an entrepreneur. The group identified a real problem: the still common use of paper pregnancy booklets, fragile and easily lost, putting valuable information about the mother and baby at risk.
Thus the dream of creating a digital, secure, and practical solution was born, uniting technology, science, and care. Gest Life is more than an app: it's a movement for more humane prenatal care, organized and connected with the present.
