VSee Health and BabyLiveAdvice partner to provide end-to-end
virtual maternal care services that support hospitals and FQHCs in
maternity deserts and increase women’s access to obstetric care
VSee Health, Inc. (Nasdaq: VSEE), a provider of comprehensive
telehealth services that customize workflow streams, and
BabyLiveAdvice, Inc., a virtual maternal care platform and a winner
of the Johnson & Johnson Nurses Innovate QuickFire Challenge in
Maternal and Newborn Health, have partnered to alleviate the
maternal care crisis through an innovative maternal care model that
allows hospitals, payers, and FQHCs to fill their most needed
staffing and service gaps through the BabyLiveAdvice maternal care
platform powered by VSee Health.
VSee Health CEO, Dr. Milton Chen stated, “We believe that
technology plays a crucial role in health equity. We’re proud to be
the digital health platform behind BabyLiveAdvice and its mission
to create a sustainable maternal care model that is meeting the
needs of mothers in maternal deserts across the U.S.”
BabyLiveAdvice CEO Sigi Marmorstein, PHN, FNP-BC says, “Our work
is helping to save lives and to keep maternity wards open. We would
not be able to do this without VSee Health and the versatile
functionalities its platform provides. It allows us to support
community health clinics and hospitals nationwide – Baywell Health,
LifeBridge Health, Washington Hospital, Huntington Hospital,
Jamaica and Flushing hospital and over 9000 mothers – with the
specialized workflows they each need to make the care experience
easy and their operations seamless.”
The Maternal Care Crisis in the United States
The United States has one of the highest rates of maternal
mortality among developed nations where the rate for Black women is
three times as high as white women at 55 per 100,000 live births.
The majority of these deaths (over 65%) happen postpartum when
women are most vulnerable and have the least access to postpartum
care and mental health support. An estimated 80% of these deaths
are preventable.
Additionally, a large number of hospital maternity wards have
been closing down since before the COVID pandemic due to lower
birth rates, staffing shortages, and rising costs. About 35% of
U.S. counties are now considered maternity deserts, where 2.3
million women of childbearing age have limited or no access to
maternal health services. Research has shown that these maternity
unit closings disproportionately impact Black women. The crisis has
been recognized by the “White House Blueprint for Addressing the
Maternal Health Crisis” and in August the administration released
$558 million to expand maternal healthcare access, improve
outcomes, and reduce disparities.
The Impact of Virtual Maternal Care
The BabyLiveAdvice platform empowers stressed hospitals and
clinics in maternity deserts to relieve staffing shortages and to
provide high quality maternal care with comprehensive non-clinical
care services that can be delivered anytime, anywhere. Powered by
VSee Health’s customizable digital health platform, BabyLiveAdvice
enables clients to build tailored programs that take on the full
burden of all non-clinical care (e.g. education, monitoring,
nutrition, lactation, mental health, social-emotional factors,
etc.) through their patients’ entire episode of care from pregnancy
to birth to postpartum; in the hospital and in the home. This
allows hospitals and clinics to focus on the clinical aspects of
obstetric care while ensuring patients are getting the
social-emotional support and monitoring they need, especially when
patients are at home and are without access to care.
