advocating for greater access

We recognize that while technology and data are critical to the success of innovative maternity care delivery programs, it is the people who deliver the services that truly matter. We are proud of our customers because they are the ones providing critical support to pregnant families in their communities. Our goal is to elevate our partners through our platform. Together, we can create a better system that provides equitable and safe care for all.

Supporting the work of midwives continues to be a leading principle that shapes everything we build and do. With tools that support integration of out-of-hospital births into health systems, we improve communication and coordination between maternity care providers so clients have a better experience.
