Willow is a company that specializes in creating smart breast pumps for mothers and its new Willow 3.0 is a wearable wireless design that has an Apple Watch companion app. The pumps help users with monitoring and controlling their pump sessions and now the smartwatch feature expands its functions to more convenience.
The app aids users with starting and pausing different sessions and switching between stimulation and expression pump modes. It also helps by adjusting the suction levels from one's own watch. It will also let users know when the previous session had ended and display the milk output in real-time as well as the battery level at every pimp session. Laura Chambers, the CEO of Willow notes that over half of Willow users "regularly use an Apple Watch and many want to control their pumps with their smartwatches."
