What Estela builds
Estela designs and builds the technology behind Muuza, including the computer-vision pipeline that analyses a photo of discharge. Her work covers guided, colour-corrected photos, image models, and the security of every answer you give us.
Before Muuza, she worked at AstraZeneca, at UBS and for the UK Department of Health. That mix of pharma, finance and public health shapes how carefully Muuza handles your data.
Good to know
“Another great achievement for the Muuza team!” That is how we shared the news in January 2026 — and we are still proud1.
Why it matters
Awards like this show that women’s health technology from the Baltics is being noticed. Each one helps Muuza find partners, investors and clinicians — and that means a better, safer app for you. See how AI works in women’s health.
When to see a doctor
