What You Should Know: 

– Rimidi, a leading digital health company specializing in remote patient monitoring, announced a new partnership with the University of South Carolina (USC) and an affiliated multispecialty clinic. Funded by The Duke Endowment, this initiative aims to improve postpartum care and outcomes for mothers in underserved communities, particularly those with high-risk pregnancies.

– The strategic collaboration brings together USC’s research expertise, Rimidi’s advanced technology, and the clinic’s patient care experience. By focusing on remote monitoring and early intervention, they aim to significantly improve postpartum care, leading to better health outcomes for mothers and their newborns.

Addressing Disparities in Postpartum Care

The state of South Carolina faces a significant challenge in maternal health. Regions with limited access to healthcare experience a disproportionate burden of hypertensive disorders, like preeclampsia and gestational hypertension, during pregnancy. These complications can persist postpartum and contribute to negative health outcomes. A recent report revealed a troubling statistic – South Carolina has a maternal mortality rate of 32.7 deaths per 100,000 births.

The Power of Remote Patient Monitoring

This new partnership leverages Rimidi’s innovative remote patient monitoring (RPM) platform. Integrated with the clinic’s existing Epic electronic health record (EHR), the platform streamlines data management and provides healthcare providers with real-time access to critical patient information. This facilitates proactive intervention and allows for timely adjustments to hypertension management plans.

Focus on Maternal Wellbeing

With a focus on maintaining safe blood pressure levels after delivery, the program will monitor key metrics such as:

  • Blood pressure readings within the first six weeks postpartum
  • Attendance at in-person follow-up appointments
  • Hospital readmission rates within the first year after birth
  • Overall program acceptability, retention, and patient satisfaction
  • Cost-effectiveness of the RPM program

“Our partnership with the University of South Carolina is deeply rooted in our commitment to helping postpartum mothers receive the care they need during a critical transition period in their lives,” said Lucienne Ide, MD, PhD, Founder and CEO of Rimidi. “By leveraging Rimidi’s RPM platform, new mothers will be better monitored by their providers, which allows them to keep track of their blood pressure in real-time, ensuring timely and proactive management of hypertension – while minimizing the separation from their new child.”
