May’s Scientific Team is composed of a multidisciplinary group of healthcare professionals, researchers, perinatality experts, and passionate professionals, all united by a common mission: to improve the health and well-being of (future) parents through innovation and applied research.
The members of our scientific team are healthcare professionals, researchers specializing in the fields of perinatality and health technology development.
Thanks to their expertise, we are able to study and highlight the impact of May’s services while continuing to optimize practices and protocols to better meet the needs of parents.
We implement longitudinal studies to evaluate how May can improve the parenting experience, reduce stress, and promote better health for parents and consequently for children.
Our goal is to promote behaviors that favor the health of women and children, and to share this knowledge with institutions and health professionals.
We develop personalized strategies to support each family, considering their specificities and providing solutions based on scientific evidence.
Our researchers and experts are at the forefront of innovation, but they also share a common belief: every parent deserves personalized and compassionate support, backed by solid scientific and medical evidence. We are committed to providing precise answers, based on rigorous research, while ensuring the respect of ethics and data confidentiality.
