The Maternal Healthcare Gap
More than 80% of pregnancy-related deaths in the United States are preventable. Yet significant gaps in maternal healthcare persist, particularly after hospital discharge.
53% of pregnancy-related deaths with known timing occurred between 7 days and one year after pregnancy.
34.6% of U.S. counties are classified as maternity care deserts.
Published maternal remote monitoring programs demonstrate the potential to improve postpartum follow-up. In one program reported by Health Recovery Solutions, postpartum blood pressure follow-up attendance increased from 33.5% to 84%.
The MomGuide+ Opportunity
MomGuide+ is being developed to help bridge gaps in maternal healthcare by connecting mothers and clinical teams through digital health tracking, evidence-informed screening, risk alerts, patient education, and extended postpartum support for up to 24 months.
Our vision is to help healthcare organizations identify concerns earlier, improve continuity of care, and support mothers beyond the traditional postpartum period.
