Liv Labs products and services have been shaped from concept to market by an amazing, multi-disciplinary team of pelvic health experts, product designers, engineers, and commercialization specialists.

OUR PRACTICES

DESIGN FOR REAL PEOPLE

We start our work by going deep on user needs, behaviors, beliefs and desires. We practice old-fashioned design research: spending time with people in their homes, gyms, laptops, and workplaces––watching and learning. Then we iteratively prototype and test new product concepts to ensure they hit the mark.

BUILD TO SCALE QUICKLY

Liv Labs was born into an era of automation, virtual workplaces, contract manufacturing and global commerce. These conditions afford small companies the opportunity to work with top talent anywhere, experiment affordably, and grow quickly beyond local resources and networks. We maximize these benefits at every turn.

BACKERS

We gratefully acknowledge the innovation champions who invested early in our self-care vision.

Our thanks go out to the National Institutes of Health, U.S. National Science Foundation, State of Illinois, Y Combinator, UChicago Polsky Incubator, Institute for Justice, MATTER, Springboard Enterprises, TechRise Chicago, and AgeTech Connect.
