The Evolution & Impact of Babyscripts' Digital Health Platform for Prenatal & Postpartum Care

Babyscripts - a member of the StartUp Health community since 2013 - is rethinking the delivery of pregnancy care through the power of technology and remote patient monitoring.
In this StartUp Health Studio interview, Babyscripts SVP Sarah Nicholson talks about how the recent announcement of $100 million towards women's health research through ARPA-H is a big step towards improving access to quality care for expectant moms. It's time to move from talking about the problem to actually fixing it at scale, rather than just nibbling at the edges.
Celebrating over a decade of operation, Babyscripts has been pivotal in introducing digital health and remote monitoring for expectant mothers, significantly improving access to quality care. Their patient engagement platform offers comprehensive services for pregnancy and postpartum, including health assessments, remote patient monitoring (RPM) for blood pressure, and educational resources, catering to the needs of mothers at various risk levels.
Mental health is a huge component of maternal mortality, particularly in the postpartum period. While not providing telemedicine directly, Babyscripts seamlessly integrates with other telemedicine services used by healthcare providers. It focuses on remote monitoring and education, addressing areas such as mental health and social determinants of health, thereby offering a holistic approach to maternal care. This kind of collaboration with other companies with the same mission is crucial to address the huge need in the market.
TLDR:
💰 $100 million allocation through ARPA-H towards women's health research indicates a growing focus on funding and innovation in the field.
💡 Babyscripts can personalize the response and education around rising health risks, connecting patients with important resources and support.
🤰 Babyscripts facilitates early intervention and continuous monitoring, potentially reducing clinic visits for low-risk cases while ensuring timely medical intervention when necessary.
