Sponsored by technology incubator and seed fund 1776, the competition featured entrepreneurs from Australia, Canada, Colombia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Morocco, Philippines the United Arab Emirates, the UK and the U.S.

Prima-Temp has garnered a cash prize and global recognition as a ground breaking, much needed technology. Dr. Lauren Costantini, CEO, presented Priya™, the company's personal fertility sensor, designed to help a woman get pregnant - www.priyaring.com - as well as other potential life saving platform extensions using Prima-Temp patented technology.

Prima-Temp Inc. has developed a product that monitors continuous core body temperature, one of the most reliable indicators of female fertility. "Priya has well-accepted technology," Dr. Costantini told the audience at the 1776 Challenge Cup finals; "Priya is truly effortless, discreet, and precise. When a woman is trying to get pregnant, she simply inserts the sensor that automatically sends data to the Priya app on her smart phone, and notifies her when she is most fertile."

Priya may help couples avoid costly fertility treatments, including in vitro fertilization/IVF.
