Our Mission
Pregnancy comes with more questions than answers.
Some are practical: Can I take this cough medicine? Is that cramping normal? Can I book this flight? Can I ride a bike? Some are urgent. Some deeply personal. Some you hesitate to say out loud.
Your doctor seems to always be in a rush. An innocuous search on Reddit turns into an endless doom-scroll. And asking friends or family? You're left to sift through conflicting answers or unsolicited advice.
A moment in life that should feel empowering instead becomes overwhelming, confusing, and isolating. You’re left to navigate one of life’s most important chapters with little more than instinct and opinion.
Zenith is on a mission to change that.
For decades, research simply hasn’t kept up. Pregnant women have been left out of studies, left out of data sets, and left to fill the gaps themselves. We believe you deserve better than guesswork. You deserve credible information — evidence that’s clear, current, and actually available in the moment you need it.
That’s why we built Zenith: an evidence-based guide designed to cut through the noise, powered by your AI research assistant, Penny. Penny sources, collates, and summarizes all of the latest research and shows you what’s most relevant. It’s the fastest way to understand what’s proven, what’s emerging, and where evidence is still thin.
Zenith is the gateway to reshaping the future of maternal health. The Zenith Pregnancy Evidence Project is the first ongoing study where pregnant women can actively contribute data about their own experiences to help close the pregnancy research gap and transform lived experiences into collective knowledge. As the evidence base grows, it feeds back into Penny, creating smarter answers and stronger support for the women who come next. Through Zenith’s unique pairing of Penny and the Pregnancy Evidence project, you’re able to access the information you need and become an active contributor reshaping our understanding of pregnancy.
Because pregnancy shouldn’t feel like a guessing game. It should be guided by evidence and grounded in care.
That’s the standard we’re setting—for you, and for every woman finding her way.
Every question today helps another woman find her answer tomorrow.
