What You Should Know:
– Emagine Solutions Technology, an award-winning healthcare technology company, today announced the addition of AI-supported wellness features to its robust application, The Journey Pregnancy.
– The new data-driven wellness features help patients understand their risk or propensity for preeclampsia, encouraging users to check in with their clinician if they have concerns about their health or notice changes.
Addressing the Preeclampsia Crisis and Cost
Preeclampsia, a high blood pressure disorder, is a deadly condition of pregnancy, affecting over 11 million women globally each year and 1 in 7 hospital births in the U.S.. The condition is a significant burden for healthcare systems, costing the U.S. healthcare system over $2 billion annually.
The challenge lies in monitoring blood pressure between routine prenatal visits, especially during the postpartum period when monitoring is less frequent. This issue is particularly pronounced for rural women who face long travel distances or live in maternity care deserts with no access to care at all.
“There is an urgent need for scalable, community-driven, and technology-enabled solutions that can facilitate real-time patient self-monitoring blood pressure tracking and timely intervention,” said Courtney Williams, Co-founder and CEO of Emagine Solutions Technology.
AI and Real-Time Self-Monitoring
The Journey Pregnancy app leverages technology to fill this critical monitoring gap. To utilize the preeclampsia wellness features, patients can consistently log their pregnancy symptoms and blood pressure using the app’s revolutionary in-app vitals scanning technology.
The core functionality includes:
- Preeclampsia Assessment: The app provides a data-driven preeclampsia assessment, alerting at-risk women to consult a medical professional.
- Aria, the Virtual Doula: Users receive 24/7 pregnancy support via Aria, the app’s personal virtual doula. Aria taps into research-backed resources for information on preeclampsia, wellness, nutrition, and other pregnancy and postpartum topics.
- Medication Logging: The app includes a medication-logging feature, allowing those at risk for preeclampsia (and their doctors) to easily keep track of their medications.
Availability
The Journey Pregnancy App is available for free on both Apple’s App Store and Google Play.
