Overview

Designed for inclusivity, Ovum empowers individuals and couples, regardless of gender, orientation, or fertility status, to take control of their reproductive health in a way that is less physically invasive and more emotionally supportive.

problem

Traditional methods of conception and pregnancy present significant barriers — physical, emotional, social, and logistical — for many people. Ovum addresses the following key challenges:

  • High maternal mortality rates and pregnancy complications

  • Infertility and the limitations of IVF

  • Barriers for same-sex couples and single parents

  • Genetic disorder screening and early-stage control

  • Lifestyle constraints due to work or personal priorities

These barriers make the journey to parenthood inaccessible or overwhelming for many, reinforcing outdated norms around who can start a family and how.

Research

Not a fantasy anymore!

What once sounded like science fiction is now a scientific reality. With artificial wombs, placentas, and ex vivo gestation systems in development, science is actively progressing in this direction, and Ovum envisions what that future could look like for actual families.

As of 2025:
EVE Therapy, a Japan–Australia biotech collaboration, has developed an experimental artificial womb system capable of sustaining embryo growth outside the human body. While currently focused on supporting premature infants, it marks a major milestone in external gestation technology.
