Babyscripts, the leading virtual care platform for managing obstetrics, today announced a new round of investments through their Strategic Partners Program, a unique investment bloc composed of health systems interested in forwarding Babyscripts’ cutting-edge digital solutions for pregnant populations. Partners include Phoenix-based Banner Health, one of the largest nonprofit health care systems in the country; the CU Healthcare Innovation Fund, located on the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado; the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin health network, an integrated health care system based in Wisconsin; and WellSpan Health, an integrated health system serving central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. 

This investment round is structured to leverage the input and support of clinical and health system partners, ensuring that Babyscripts’ product development and future roadmap aligns with customer needs. 

Babyscripts has spent the last six years building a clinically-validated, virtual care platform to allow OBGYNs to deliver a new model of prenatal care. Using internet-connected devices for remote monitoring, Babyscripts offers risk-specific experiences to allow providers to manage up to 90% of pregnancies virtually, allowing doctors to detect risk more quickly and automate elements of care.

3-Tier Approach Virtual Maternity Care

Banner Health, Health Systems Make Strategic Investment in Virtual Maternity Care Platform Babyscripts

Babyscripts’ three-tiered approach to virtual maternity care allows providers to deliver risk-specific care to pregnant mothers at any time, in any place, through a mobile app and internet-connected monitoring devices:

Maternal Digital Education: Virtually connect with expectant and new mothers between visits with a custom mobile app.

Maternal Health Monitoring: Virtual management of pregnant patients through remote monitoring for blood pressure, weight, blood sugar, social determinants of health (SDOH)

Maternal Population Health: Improve patient/member care through a unique collaboration between the care team and the payer.

The solution is powered by a robust set of vetted user experiences, integrations, workflows, and best practices.

“From the beginning, we’ve set ourselves apart from other tech companies by partnering with physicians to make sure that we’re developing solutions that will actually be useful and improve outcomes, not just look and feel ‘cutting-edge’,” said Juan Pablo Segura, co-founder and President of Babyscripts. “This investment is validation that health systems see the value of our solution — and they’re willing to put their money on it.
