BRYGE AI Wins Silver Stevie Award for Innovative ADHD Communication Technology

BRYGE AI, an ADHD communication assistant designed to help neurotypicals communicate more clearly and compassionately with people who have ADHD, has received the Silver Stevie Award for Best Health Tech Product for Women at the 2025 Stevie Awards for Women in Business. The award recognizes the company's innovative approach to addressing communication challenges faced by individuals with ADHD in relationships, classrooms, and workplaces.

Developed by Rebecca Koniahgari, BRYGE AI uses artificial intelligence to transform overwhelming or unclear messages into ADHD-aware, emotionally intelligent communication. The tool specifically focuses on communication health rather than functioning as a productivity app or therapy tool. It helps neurotypicals rewrite messages that are easier for ADHD minds to process, featuring an ADHD-aware rewrite engine for tone and clarity, cognitive load and pressure analysis, personalized educational feedback, and voice cloning for accessible message delivery.

Judges praised BRYGE AI for its innovation and empathy-driven design, with one describing it as an amazing health tech solution that represents not just tech with impact, but a caring, feasible, and radical change in the right direction. Another judge noted that putting empathy at the center of AI is appreciated, emphasizing that the tool doesn't just bridge communication gaps but rewrites the emotional script for countless relationships. Additional feedback characterized BRYGE AI as a thoughtful, much-needed tool with real promise and a user-friendly, intuitive technology that gives those living and working with ADHD an authentic voice.

Rebecca Koniahgari, Founder of BRYGE AI, stated that the tool was inspired by the experiences of women with ADHD and empowers neurotypicals to communicate with empathy, clarity, and understanding for everyone with ADHD. She emphasized that receiving the Stevie Award validates the company's mission and reinforces that technology can and should be built to foster deeper human connection and support neurodiversity.

The recognition in the Best Health Tech Product for Women category highlights the growing need for tools that support the mental wellness and communication challenges that women with ADHD often navigate at home and in their careers. Early users include educators, professionals, and partners seeking better communication with ADHD individuals, with feedback showing measurable reductions in anxiety and improvements in clarity, trust, and emotional understanding.

The Stevie Awards for Women in Business, now in its 22nd year, received its most varied and diverse body of nominations ever according to Maggie Miller, president of the Stevie Awards. Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 190 business professionals around the world working on seven juries.

This award underscores the importance of developing technology that addresses neurodiversity challenges in communication. As workplaces and educational institutions increasingly recognize the value of inclusive communication practices, tools like BRYGE AI represent a significant step forward in creating environments where neurodiverse individuals can thrive. The recognition also signals growing market validation for AI solutions that prioritize emotional intelligence and human connection over pure efficiency metrics.
