Highly commended: Wearable design of the year 2022. Elvie has designed Elvie Stride in Bristol, United Kingdom.

This project is a hands-free, hospital-grade breast pump that is broadly covered by health insurance, providing more women access to Elvie's game-changing breastfeeding solutions.

Ultra-quiet and worn discreetly under clothing, Elvie Stride collects milk in-bra, leaving the user's hands and body free to move. It connects to an app to track pumping history and control the pump remotely, among other smart features.

By offering this breast pump through insurance in the US, more women can experience Elvie's game-changing technology firsthand.

Elvie Stride easily integrates into the everyday lives of new mothers so that they don't have to sacrifice any of the things that bring them joy when feeding their babies.

Judges comments: "Elvie has taken another leap forward with Elvie Stride and deserves recognition. The breast pump offers mothers a breastfeeding solution which does not compromise comfort or mobility, minimising the day-to-day disruption which may be caused by breastfeeding."
