A lack of access to appropriate care, patient information gaps, and poor patient engagement put women at an increased risk for negative maternal outcomes. TruDiary is a Prenatal Risk Assessment and Monitoring platform that makes prenatal care easier and more effective. The company is using AI technology to identify the probability of pregnancy complications, promote timely interventions, help prevent acute health events, and reduce the total cost of care. As patients monitor and record personal health information, the Algorithm creates, refines, and stratifies “health risk profiles” based upon three risk categories: normal, at risk, and high risk. If symptoms fall outside of defined parameters, the TruDiary app rates the risk category and alerts a patient’s care community. By referencing patient profiles and associated risk scoring, clinicians are provided access to information to improve individual care plans, reducing risk. The company’s goal is to create an increased path to full-term births in America, reducing maternal mortality, increasing the overall health of mothers, and shrinking the $26 billion that is associated with complicated pregnancies.
