    Industry Overview

    Maternal Health App Development: Engineered End-to-End

    The US maternal health crisis is not a data problem — it's a care-continuity problem. We engineer apps that turn scattered home readings, mental-health check-ins, and visit data into one longitudinal record OB care teams can actually act on, with special attention to high-risk pregnancy, underserved populations, and the fragile postpartum window.

    Industry Challenges

    What Stops Most Teams From Solving This Today

    Common friction points we hear from healthcare teams scoping this kind of platform.

    • Postpartum Drop-Off: Care often ends at the 6-week visit — exactly when depression, hypertension, and hemorrhage risks peak.

    • Fragmented Data: Home BP cuffs, CGMs, and kick-counters rarely make it into the OB's chart as discrete, trendable data.

    • Underserved Access: High-risk patients disproportionately lack reliable smartphones, broadband, or time for app-only experiences.

    • Clinician Overload: OBs already carry heavy panels; any new tool must cut work, not add another inbox to triage.

    Our Approach

    Our Engineering Approach

    We engineer for the operational reality — not the demo.

    Home Vitals, In the Chart

    BP cuffs, CGMs, weight scales, and kick counters stream as FHIR Observations into Epic, Cerner, or Athena.

    Perinatal Mental Health

    EPDS and PHQ-9 screening through pregnancy and out to 12 months postpartum, with triage and referral workflows.

    Accessible By Design

    SMS, voice, and low-bandwidth patient journeys for populations underserved by app-first tools.

    Capabilities

    Capabilities

    Production-grade features the platform ships with from day one.

    Home BP & Glucose Monitoring

    Omron, iHealth, and Dexcom integrations with preeclampsia and GDM risk models.

    Fetal Kick Counter

    Clinically-informed kick-count tracking with anomaly alerts to the care team.

    Preeclampsia Risk Engine

    ACOG-aligned rule set combining home BP, symptoms, and prior history for early escalation.

    EPDS / PHQ-9 Screening

    Scheduled perinatal mental-health check-ins with configurable clinician alerting.

    Education & Care Plans

    Gestational-week-aware education and care plans personalized per risk tier.

    Telehealth Visits

    HIPAA-compliant video visits with doula, lactation, and maternal-fetal medicine specialists.

    Multi-Channel Outreach

    SMS, voice-call, and in-app journeys for patients without reliable smartphones.

    Care-Team Workspace

    High-risk dashboards, triage queues, and one-click documentation for OB, MFM, and nurse navigators.

    Postpartum Continuity

    12-month postpartum follow-up journey covering mental, cardiometabolic, and pelvic-floor health.

    How It Works

    Reference Architecture

    How data and decisions flow end-to-end.

    Device & Multi-Channel Ingestion

    BLE home devices, SMS, and voice channels into a shared ingestion gateway.

    1

    Risk & Rules Engine

    Pregnancy-stage, preeclampsia, and GDM rule packs run over live and historical data.

    2

    FHIR Clinical Layer

    Vitals, screenings, and care-plan items written as FHIR resources with provenance.

    3

    EHR Sync

    SMART on FHIR launch and bidirectional sync into Epic OB, Cerner, and Athena OB modules.

    4

    Patient & Clinician Experiences

    React Native patient app, clinician triage workspace, and SMS/voice journeys share one clinical spine.

    Medicaid Maternal Health Program

    A state Medicaid managed-care organization wanted to lower preterm birth and severe-maternal-morbidity rates in rural counties. We built a bilingual maternal health app with SMS-first journeys for patients without reliable smartphones and a clinician workspace that fed directly into the Epic OB chart.

    Within 18 months, the program enrolled 22,000 high-risk members, lifted EPDS screening from 31% to 86%, and reduced preeclampsia-related admissions by 38% across the cohort — outcomes that anchored a successful state rate negotiation.
