Featured in the Atlanta Business Chronicle

We’re proud to share that Armor Medical’s story was recently featured in the Atlanta Business Chronicle in an article titled “Born from Breakthroughs and Bruises: Local Founder on a Quest to End Preventable Maternal Deaths.”

The article highlights Armor Medical’s origins, including CEO & Co-founder Kelsey Mayo’s own life-threatening hemorrhage, which underscored the urgent need for earlier detection of hidden blood loss. It also captures the driving force behind our innovation: ensuring no family loses a mother to something that is preventable.

Why this matters:

• Postpartum hemorrhage remains one of the leading causes of maternal death worldwide — and Georgia continues to rank among the worst states for maternal mortality.

• Current methods for detecting hemorrhage are outdated and often too late.

• Armor Medical’s flagship innovation, Maternal aRMOR, is a wrist-worn, non-invasive device designed to detect early changes in blood flow, giving providers critical insights in real time.

• Our approach is designed to be equitable — working across skin tones and sensitive to internal bleeding.

As Kelsey shared in the article: “Our first mission is clear: to help hospitals and clinicians everywhere catch dangerous bleeding in mothers before it becomes life-threatening. My hope is simple: that no family will ever have to lose a mother to something we have the tools to prevent.”
