Did you know that 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year in medical design, especially for fertility and postpartum care? If you're on a sensitive fertility journey or supporting someone who is, this might just be the most exciting news you've heard all year.
Recently, the 2025 Core77 Design Awards revealed their Medical & Healthcare winners, spotlighting innovations that don’t just look good — they fundamentally change lives. Among the winners was the Couplet Care Bassinet by Ty Hagler from Trig, a design that addresses a deeply overlooked gap in postpartum care: accessible, user-centered bassinets in hospitals. This might seem niche, but for new parents, particularly those navigating sensitive health conditions, this is a game-changer.
Why Does Medical Design Matter for Fertility and Pregnancy?
Often, medical devices and technologies prioritize clinical efficiency over user comfort — which can be detrimental for sensitive users. Whether you’re dealing with vaginismus, low motility sperm, or other fertility sensitivities, convenience paired with thoughtful design makes all the difference.
The innovations showcased by Core77 don’t just improve aesthetics; they tackle real-world problems faced by patients and caregivers. For instance, the award-winning bassinet isn’t just a baby bed; it’s designed to foster better bonding and ease of care in a hospital environment. This echoes a broader trend: design with empathy, aimed at enhancing emotional and physical wellness during one of the most vulnerable times in life.
Bridging Design Innovation and Fertility Tech
Speaking of innovation, the fertility space is also seeing remarkable shifts. Companies like MakeAMom are pioneering user-friendly, cost-effective solutions for individuals and couples who face physical sensitivities or want privacy and comfort at home. Their at-home insemination kits — including the CryoBaby for frozen sperm, the Impregnator for low motility sperm, and the BabyMaker designed for users with conditions like vaginismus — embody this user-centered approach.
What stands out about MakeAMom's products is their reusability and discreet shipping, both thoughtfully designed to meet sensitive users’ unique needs. Plus, with an average success rate of 67%, their home insemination kits are not just convenient but effective.
