Problem
Many pregnant individuals, especially those in underserved areas, lack consistent access to maternal-fetal medicine specialists and comprehensive maternity care. This scarcity of resources can lead to delayed interventions and increased risks during prenatal and postpartum periods.
Solution
Ouma Health offers a dedicated maternity telehealth platform that provides 24/7 access to a range of maternal healthcare professionals, including MFM physicians, OB/GYNs, addiction medicine specialists, lactation consultants, psychiatric nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives, perinatal nurse navigators, and licensed clinical social workers. The platform ensures continuous clinical support for pregnant individuals nationwide, bridging gaps in care regardless of location or income. Ouma Health emphasizes care continuity, allowing patients to see their own trusted clinician throughout their pregnancy and postpartum journey, rather than relying on episodic or "Uber-style" telehealth interactions.
