Problem
Maternity care often has gaps in access, leading to inconsistent support during pregnancy, postpartum, and fertility challenges. Individuals may lack personalized guidance and resources, especially outside of scheduled appointments. This can result in increased stress and potentially adverse health outcomes for both parents and newborns.

By partnering with health plans and employers, Pomelo Care ensures members receive personalized care plans and guidance via text, phone, or video, supplementing traditional in-person care. The platform provides support for a wide range of needs, from managing nausea and hypertension to assisting with breastfeeding and fertility treatments. Pomelo Care aims to improve maternal and newborn outcomes by providing continuous access to expert support and resources.
