Problem
Pregnant and postpartum women, especially those enrolled in Medicaid, often lack access to culturally sensitive, continuous support and care coordination, leading to higher rates of complications, unnecessary procedures, and missed postpartum follow‑ups.
Solution
Alda Health creates a community‑based support network that links expectant and new mothers with trusted doulas and care providers through both in‑person and virtual channels. The platform matches women with supporters who speak their language and understand their cultural background, delivering personalized guidance throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period at no cost to the user. By partnering with Medicaid Managed Care Organizations, Alda integrates its services into existing health plans, enabling seamless referral, data sharing, and outcome tracking. This model improves engagement, reduces avoidable emergency visits, and increases adherence to essential postpartum care. The service is delivered as a scalable, technology‑enabled “village” that builds trust and continuity of care where the women live.
