Why Heart Safe Motherhood?
Hypertension is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Heart Safe Motherhood was created to improve postpartum care for mothers with pregnancy-related hypertension and reduce maternal morbidity and mortality.
1 in 5 of the 700 maternal deaths each year in the US are linked to preeclampsia.
Preventable MorbidityFor every maternal death in the United States, there are about 100 episodes of severe maternal morbidity.
Guidelines recommend monitoring BP at 72 hours and 7-10 days postpartum in at-risk women.
Provider-FriendlyAllows for efficient large scale, remote patient monitoring making it easier to focus on patient care.
Patient-CenteredAfter delivery, frequent in-person visits are not easy. We aim to provide care in a better way.
Evidence-Based ModelOur model is supported by published results from a randomized controlled trial and rapid-cycle testing.
