The company was co-founded by <strong>Juan Dabvid Giraldo<\/strong>,\u00a0Software Engineer with 10+ experience working with startups in USA and Europe like Shopify, Helpling, Glossier, and\u00a0<strong>Tatiana Chavarriaga<\/strong>, a Physiotherapist and MIT innovator under 35 in LATAM. with more than 5 years of experience, working with digital health and rehabilitation in 3 different countries (Brazil, Colombia and Germany).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How did you come up with the idea to create a startup?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tatiana Chavarriaga:<\/strong> \u201cThe idea came from years of treating women who struggled without proper pelvic health care, combined with my own difficult postpartum recovery. We saw how inaccessible and expensive existing solutions were, which inspired us to build a scalable, personalized, and accessible solution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What have been the biggest challenges\/failures and the biggest wins so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur biggest challenge has been breaking the taboo around pelvic health and educating women that their symptoms are treatable. Our biggest wins include onboarding over 6,000 users, delivering 5,000+ online therapy sessions in six months, and seeing high engagement and measurable symptom improvement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What sets your startup apart from competitors?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvie combines clinical expertise with AI-driven personalization. We offer daily adaptive programs and continuous support tailored to each woman\u2019s symptoms, built by pelvic health experts rather than just wellness or fitness teams.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why did you apply to the AI Accelerator?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe applied to scale our personalized care model using advanced AI responsibly. AI is core to Evie\u2019s ability to deliver individualized therapy at scale, and we want to refine our technology and clinical validation alongside leading experts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where do you see your startup in 1 year? And where in 5 years?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn one year, Evie will be operating across multiple European markets with expanded AI personalization. In five years, we aim to be the leading women\u2019s pelvic health platform globally, integrated into standard healthcare benefits through employers and insurers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Which books\/podcasts\/publications and influencers do you recommend?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe recommend \u2018<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Remote-Office-Required-Jason-Fried\/dp\/0091954673\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Remote<\/a><\/em>\u2018 by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson for building distributed, focused teams, and \u2018<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Invisible-Women-Data-World-Designed\/dp\/1419729071\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Invisible Women<\/a><\/em>\u2018 by Caroline Criado Perez for understanding how gender data gaps impact product design \u2013 especially critical in women\u2019s health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\">\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tehnopol\u2019s AI Accelerator is open for applications until early February.
