Armor Medical Wins MedTech Innovator Grand Prize

ATLANTA, GA — October 7, 2025 — Armor Medical has been named the 2025 MedTech Innovator Early Stage Grand Prize Winner, earning the $350,000 non-dilutive award to advance its flagship technology, Maternal aRMOR, a non-invasive, real-time monitoring platform designed to detect early hemorrhage, empower healthcare providers, and improve outcomes for mothers worldwide.

The honor was announced live on stage at The MedTech Conference powered by AdvaMed in San Diego, where five finalist companies competed before a panel of industry experts and a live audience vote. Armor Medical was recognized for its innovation, mission-driven leadership, and the potential of maternal aRMOR to transform maternal care.

“We are honored to be named the MedTech Innovator Grand Prize winner,” said Kelsey Mayo, Ph.D., co-founder and CEO of Armor Medical. “For me, this moment is especially meaningful as it represents resilience: the ability to absorb pressure, bend, and emerge stronger. That is the story of Armor Medical, and it is also the story of so many mothers and families touched by postpartum hemorrhage, who inspire us and keep us laser-focused on our ‘why.’ This recognition is a testament to the creativity, grit, and unshakable belief of our team, and it also belongs to the MTI community of mentors, sponsors, and peers whose encouragement has propelled us forward. Together, we are working to make birth safer for all mothers, everywhere.”
