– Emagine Solutions Technologyan award-winning health technology company, today announced the addition of AI-powered wellness features to its robust app. The pregnancy journey.
– New data-driven wellness features help patients understand their risk or susceptibility to preeclampsia, encouraging users to consult with their doctor if they have concerns about their health or notice changes.
Addressing the crisis and cost of preeclampsia
Preeclampsia, a high blood pressure disorder, is a fatal pregnancy condition that affects more than 11 million women worldwide each year and 1 in 7 hospital births in the U.S. The condition places a significant burden on healthcare systems, costing the U.S. healthcare system more than $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 problem is particularly pronounced for rural women who face long travel distances or live in maternity care deserts without any access to care.
“There is an urgent need for scalable, community-driven, technology-based solutions that can facilitate real-time patient blood pressure self-monitoring and timely intervention,” said Courtney Williams, co-founder and CEO of Emagine Solutions Technology.
AI and self-monitoring in real time
The Journey Pregnancy app leverages technology to fill this critical monitoring gap. To utilize the preeclampsia wellness features, patients can constantly record their pregnancy symptoms and blood pressure using the revolutionary vital signs scanning technology built into the app.
Core functionality includes:
- Preeclampsia evaluation: The app provides data-driven preeclampsia screening and alerts at-risk women to consult a medical professional.
- Aria, the Virtual Doula: Users receive 24/7 pregnancy support through Aria, the app’s personal virtual doula. Aria leverages research-backed resources to learn about preeclampsia, wellness, nutrition, and other pregnancy and postpartum topics.
- Medication registry: The app includes a medication tracker feature, allowing people at risk of preeclampsia (and their doctors) to easily track their medications.
Availability
The Journey Pregnancy app is available for free on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.
