<h1>Maternal and child health accelerator selects three scalable innovations for first 1,000 days focusing on implementation and legal risks</h1> A global consumer health company and a public health organization announced three winners of a maternal and child health tech accelerator focused on the first 1,000 days; the innovations-an AI-enabled wearable, neuroscience-based infant toys, and an ergonomic baby sling-were selected from 21 finalists for effectiveness, scalability, usability, and cost-efficiency and will enter implementation with on-ground partners. Legal considerations include intellectual property rights and licensing, regulatory approvals for medical devices and consumer products, product liability and safety compliance, data protection and AI governance for health monitoring, contractual terms with implementation partners and funders, and oversight of pilot deployments in resource-limited settings.
