Problem
Gestational diabetes often goes undetected until late in pregnancy, leading to potential health complications for both mother and child. Current screening methods may be invasive or inconvenient, hindering early diagnosis and timely intervention.
Solution
MaMome offers an at-home fecal microbiome test that leverages next-generation DNA sequencing and bioinformatics to enable early detection of gestational diabetes. The non-invasive test analyzes the diversity and balance of the gut microbiome, focusing on bacteria known to impact pregnancy outcomes. By identifying microbiome imbalances associated with gestational diabetes, MaMome facilitates timely intervention through nutritional education and expert consultations. The test can be administered throughout pregnancy, from the first to the third trimester (8-37 weeks of gestation), providing a convenient and accessible screening solution.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes pregnant women seeking early and convenient screening for gestational diabetes, as well as healthcare providers looking for innovative diagnostic tools to improve maternal health outcomes.
