AI-powered preconception platform Soonr named finalist in digital health awards

Vespexx Inc., the AI femtech company behind Soonr, has been named a finalist in the Digital Health Hub Foundation Digital Health & AI Awards 2026 at HLTH, in the Rising Star track, Women’s & Family Health category.

The company advanced from the Quarterfinalist stage announced in September.

The Digital Health & AI Awards recognise organisations that use digital technology to improve healthcare services and patient outcomes, with a focus on the speed, efficiency and equity of care.

More than 1,300 companies entered this year’s competition, with finalists selected in each track and category.

Vespexx was selected for Soonr, a preconception health platform that brings both partners into pregnancy planning from the first step.

Couples connect their accounts in the Soonr app, where at-home hormone results from the FDA-listed Surearly SMART Kit appear alongside cycle and lifestyle data that both partners can view and log.

Each partner sees the same timeline and receives the same updates, so a process that typically falls to one person becomes a shared plan.

“Reaching the Finals means a great deal to everyone at Vespexx,” Scarlett Joowon Jung, co-CEO of Vespexx.

“Couples tell us that planning for a baby can feel lonely for one partner and confusing for the other, and Soonr exists to close that gap.

“We’re grateful to the Digital Health Hub Foundation for this recognition, and we look forward to sharing our work on stage at HLTH as we grow in the US.”

“The transition from Quarterfinalist to Finalist is where the competition really gets exciting,” said Mark H. Goldstein, Chairman of the Digital Health Hub Foundation.

“We’re seeing companies move beyond promising ideas to solutions that are changing how healthcare is delivered, experienced, and accessed.

“Our finalists represent an extraordinary range of innovation, and we can’t wait to bring their achievements to the stage at HLTH in November.”

Winners will be announced on Monday, November 16, at HLTH USA at The Venetian in Las Vegas, during three themed awards shows at the Awards Pavilion.

The Women’s & Family Health category will be presented at the 2:30 PM show.
