ZenZen Diabetes Support

Did you know that emotional support is critical for effective, person-centered healthcare, yet often missing in current systems? Studies highlight the importance of #warmth, #kindness, deep listening, and social connection in treatment. 👉 https://lnkd.in/erB_VHG5 At ZenZen, we're addressing this gap. At ZenZen, we’re redefining diabetes management. Starting with #gestationaldiabetes. Our AI-powered app goes beyond data tracking to offer personalized meal plans, real-time data logging, and 24/7 emotional and knowledge support with engaging conversations. We’re not just managing diabetes; we’re transforming lives by addressing both physical and emotional needs. And we’re gearing up for our medical device certification to expand our impact.

Today, as we celebrate Mother's Day in Hungary and continue to recognize Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week, we at ZenZen are thrilled to share a significant milestone that honors mothers everywhere. 🌷 After 12 months of dedicated work, fueled by passion and the drive to make a meaningful impact, we've reached a pivotal moment: ZenZen's app is now officially submitted for verification on app stores! 📱 This isn't just about technology. It's about recognizing the #strength, #resilience, and #challenges of #motherhood. Our platform is designed not just to share data but to offer support, understanding, and empowerment to every mother. We believe in creating a space where vulnerability is met with support, not stigma. On the note of maternal mental health, research indicates that around 20% of women develop a mental disorder during pregnancy or within the first year postpartum, especially among those experiencing gestational diabetes. This can profoundly affect both mother and child, influencing glycaemic control, adherence to treatment, and potentially leading to neuro-behavioral issues in children. To all the incredible mothers out there, this is for you. You deserve more than statistics and pressure; you deserve a community and tools that uplift and empower. Stay tuned to experience ZenZen Diabetes Support soon, and let's transform maternal wellness together. Here’s to strong women: may we know them, may we be them, may we raise them! Thank you for our super team: Bobby Martin, Margarita Paronyan, Emel Kaya Betz, Viktor Hodobay, Katarzyna Gluszek!

We're in the midst of gearing up for the soft launch of ZenZen Diabetes Support, and I couldn't be prouder of our dedicated team. Despite being a bootstrapped startup with limited resources, everyone in our team is a hero in their own right. Our CTO, Viktor Hodobay, is not only developing the app but also the CMS behind it and our new website. He's truly a magician! Meanwhile, Bobby Martin is working tirelessly on ZenZen's UX/UI and even creating animations for the onboarding and tooltips within the app. It's incredible to see the passion and dedication each member brings to the table. I'm incredibly grateful for our team and the opportunity to learn how to make the most of our resources while building a small but committed team. Stay tuned for updates as we gear up for the soft launch of ZenZen. Follow us for more behind-the-scenes peeks and exciting developments.

Things at ZenZen Diabetes Support are super busy as we get ready for our soft launch. But in the middle of all this, we truly believe that partnerships and making connections are what make us grow. That's why I'm really excited to tell you that I'll be at the Investors On Board event, thanks to Vision Health Pioneers Incubator ! It's a great chance for us to meet with investors and talk about what we're doing and meet new people. Next Wednesday, I'll be at DMEA - Connecting Digital Health, talking about the future of health tech. It's where smart folks gather, and I'd love to meet some of you there. Plus, mark your calendars for April 16th! I'll be at the HTW Startup Challenge, where every chat matters. I'll be talking to each person, trying to win them over one by one and win the prize! So, if you're at any of these events, I'd be really happy to talk, share ideas, or just grab a coffee together. Your thoughts and advice mean a lot to us as we start this journey. Feel free to leave a comment or send a message if you want to connect. 🚀✨ #zenzenapp #startuplife #startupjourney #healthtech #femtech #gestationaldiabetes #diabetesmanagement #valuebasedcare #pregnancy

Excited to give you a sneak peek into what's been keeping us busy at ZenZen Diabetes Support! We've been working super hard behind the scenes, fueled by the amazing feedback sessions we had with our testers and chats with Miguel de Sousa Mendes. Deciding when to hit that launch button feels a bit like teaching your kid to ride a bike without training wheels – nerve-wracking, but it's got to be done! We're also putting the finishing touches on our new website and App Store Product Page. Yep, we've got a to-do list longer than a giraffe's neck, but hey, that's startup life, right? As co-founder of ZenZen, a companion app for moms-to-be focusing on metabolic health during pregnancy, I've been living and breathing this project. But amidst the chaos, there's this bubbling excitement. We're almost ready to share something we truly believe in with the world. And even though we're getting ready to launch, this journey is far from over. There's always room to grow and improve. Stay tuned for more updates, and thanks a ton for being a part of this journey with us. Your support means everything, and we can't wait to introduce ZenZen to you all! I can't be thankful enough for our dedicated team: Margarita Paronyan, Emel Kaya Betz, Katarzyna Gluszek, Bobby Martin, Yinghui(Helena) Chen, Hermann Gustav Rasch, Viktor Hodobay - who has no Linkedin but has Gitthub account. P.S. Any guesses on how many times we'll tweak the app icon before we're happy?

Today, a diagnosis of gestational diabetes often leads to a predetermined path: induced birth or c-section. However, here's the twist—there's no solid evidence supporting the necessity of induction for women with gestational diabetes. The World Health Organization (WHO) even advises against it unless other complications arise. Yet, the pressure is palpable. Doctors critique I'll harm my baby if I don't follow their plan. Others criticize if I stick to the diet, worried my baby will starving and won't develop well. It's a rollercoaster of paternalistic treatment, feeling like I'm being told what to do without a say in the matter. So this International Women's Day, I have a simple wish: Three Things We Stand For at ZenZen Diabetes Support 1.Evidence-Based Decision Making: Despite the norm of inducing birth for gestational diabetes, solid evidence is scarce. At ZenZen, we advocate for informed decisions based on clear and honest information. 2. Having Power to Choose:: Every woman deserves the right to choose how she gives birth and manages her pregnancy. We believe in providing women with the autonomy to decide what's best for them. 3.Respectful Value Based Care: Women with gestational diabetes - like all other women - deserve respect and trust in their understanding of their health. ZenZen stands for respectful and empowering care for every pregnancy journey. Let's stand together to advocate for women's autonomy over their bodies, and their pregnancies. Share your stories, raise awareness, and let's make sure every woman has the right to make informed decisions about her body and her baby. Happy International Women's Day! I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude for the privilege of knowing and working with these brilliant, talented women. Without them, ZenZen wouldn't be the company it is today: Margarita Paronyan, Katarzyna Gluszek, Emel Kaya Betz 🙏 ❤️ #gestationaldiabetes #womensupportwomen #womensday2024 #womensday #pregnancycare #mybodymychoice #zenzenformothers #zenzenapp #startuplife #femtech #valuebasedhealthcare
