Digital health company Kindara, which develops products to help women monitor their fertility status, has raised a seed funding round to expand product development to attract a more diverse customer base. The funding will also go towards the roll out of Wink, a Bluetooth basal thermometer that syncs with its app to help women as they try to conceive or prevent that from happening, according to a company statement.
Boston Seed Capital led the $5.3 million seed round. SOSV, Good Works Ventures, PV Ventures, MENA Venture Investments and 62 Mile Ventures also took part.
Wink is expected to be shipped by the end of 2015. The idea is that it helps women track when they are ovulating.

Maven developed a physician search tool to make it easier to find OB-GYN doctors.
