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 been awarded the Silver Stevie Award for Best Health Tech Product for Women at the 2025 Stevie Awards for Women in Business. Developed by Rebecca Koniahgari, the artificial intelligence tool transforms overwhelming or unclear messages into ADHD-aware, emotionally intelligent communication that reduces anxiety, confusion, and miscommunication in relationships, classrooms, and workplaces.

Unlike productivity apps or therapy tools, BRYGE AI focuses specifically on communication health by helping neurotypicals rewrite messages that are easier for ADHD minds to process. The technology includes 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 the innovation for its 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.

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 both at home and in their careers. Another judge noted that putting empathy at the center of AI is particularly appreciated, emphasizing that the technology doesn't just bridge communication gaps but rewrites the emotional script for countless relationships. Judges also described 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, explained that the tool was inspired by the experiences of women with ADHD and aims to empower neurotypicals to communicate with empathy, clarity, and understanding for everyone with ADHD. She stated that receiving this Stevie Award represents powerful validation of their mission and reinforces that technology can and should be built to foster deeper human connection and support neurodiversity. Early users including educators, professionals, and partners seeking better communication with ADHD individuals have reported 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.

The significance of BRYGE AI's achievement lies in its potential to transform how neurotypical individuals communicate with the ADHD community, addressing a critical gap in mental health technology while promoting greater understanding and connection across neurodiverse populations.
