Problem
Maternal mortality rates in the U.S. are rising, with a lack of technology to help medical professionals intervene before conditions turn fatal, especially for high-risk patients and those in rural areas with limited access to care. Existing pregnancy monitoring systems are often bulky, limiting, and haven't changed significantly in the past 30 years, leading to undetected or undiagnosed heart valve problems and other complications.
Solution
Marani Health offers an AI-powered maternal healthcare platform that leverages connected devices to provide remote patient monitoring and individual insights, aiming to improve patient outcomes and enhance clinical workflows. The M-care system includes a wearable band with sensors (M-Wrap) to measure heart rates of pregnant women and their unborn fetus, along with a smartphone app, weight scale, glucometer, and blood pressure cuff. Data is uploaded to a dashboard for remote monitoring by doctors and clinicians, enabling prioritized patient care based on real-time data. The platform also offers resources for expectant mothers, including digitized pregnancy guidelines, device usage reminders, and a communication platform for clinicians.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes maternity providers seeking to expand their capabilities with remote patient monitoring, health plans aiming to provide evidence-based personalized care, and employers looking to offer comprehensive prenatal and postpartum support to their teams.
