Pregnancy monitoring: Healthy Pregnancy mobile app

The health sector has always been innovative, digital media are therefore an ideal playground for e-health. Each week new products appear on this booming market. Latest, a mobile application for expectant mothers.

Lthe american health insurance company United healthcare (UHC), based in Minnesota, has just launched a new smartphone application to monitoring pregnancy. UHC said it hopes to provide future and new parents with additional access to prenatal and postnatal care. This, while reducing health care costs. The idea is to offer remote information and services to respond quickly, reliably and without the cost of physical consultations.

UHC Healthy Pregnancy is a new mobile application that allows women who are pregnant or have just given birth to have the remote assistance of a specialized maternity nurse 24/7.

Availability of the Healthy Pregnancy mobile app

The app called UnitedHealthCare is free and can be downloaded from the Google Store or iTunes. So you can use it on iPhone or a smartphone Android. United Healthcare Service thus offers a complete range of mobile applications for its insured health:

In addition to the matchmaking service, patients can monitoring and track weight, set up reminders to take vitamins, and track appointments and pregnancy-related events. Patients will also be able to assess their health and discuss the results of this assessment with a nurse. The app is customizable and allows patients to receive weekly updates based on their baby's gestational age, as well as researching information on symptoms of pregnancy. The app also comes with a kick counter so mothers-to-be can monitoring their baby's movements.

• One-click phone call from a registered nurse 24/7.

• Access to personalized information from the UnitedHealthcare pregnancy program.

• Access with your tools to estimate the benefits and costs related to pregnancy.

• Track your pregnancy and weight.

• Recall for taking medications or food supplements (vitamins).

• Management and reminder of medical visits and other appointments.

• Real-time health check, with the possibility of consulting a pregnancy program nurse by phone.

The vision of the health insurer United Health Care

Healthy Pregnancy Product Manager Meena Pinnamaneni said the app was designed to answer the questions and needs that new or expecting moms have. A way for the insurance company to fight misconceptions about pregnancy and newborns. UnitedHealthcare, for example, carried out a survey which revealed that 73% of women underestimated the duration of a full-term delivery by 3 weeks (36 instead of 39 weeks). It is therefore both a practical app and, for a first delivery, an educational device.

For example, a woman in her third trimester of pregnancy might consider the advantages and disadvantages of a cesarean. If the patient has questions about future events in pregnancy, the app also has a section that highlights some questions that expectant parents may have.

The app integrates with the UnitedHealthcare maternity program. If patients do health assessments in the app, it can help providers to associate patient risks and put them in touch with a nurse or clinician.

This app allows moms to view factual and clinically relevant information in seconds, rather than searching Google. At the risk of obtaining false information. But the application not only provides information, it also provides resources to patients in the context of care management (US health model).

In 2016, UnitedHealthcare and Qualcomm Life launched another mobile application called UnitedHealthcare Motion. The app monitors employee fitness and provides discounts to employees who meet certain fitness goals. Earlier this month, the company announced that it was extending UnitedHealthCare Motion to users of Samsung and Garmin, in addition to user members of Fitbits products.

Pregnancy monitoring: Healthy Pregnancy mobile app in France?

In my opinion, such an application would have all its reasons for being in France. Prospective parents are often destitute and completely inexperienced during the entire period of pregnancy (and the 20 years that follow). Special remote maternity support. An offer, a bit like that offered by the brand new French platform Doctoconsult. Launched last October, is gives access to psychiatric ehealth consultations.
