Problem Statement
In the United States, there is a huge disparity in maternal mortality outcomes across socioeconomic and racial lines. We want to raise awareness and increase access to resources for the most vulnerable expectant mothers.
In the United States, there is a huge disparity in maternal mortality outcomes across socioeconomic and racial lines. We want to raise awareness and increase access to resources for the most vulnerable expectant mothers.
Along with the assistance and guidance of our coaches and mentors, we’ve created a website that connects women, especially women of color, to various different resources. Maternal mortality rates, especially for those in the Black, brown, and Hispanic communities, are very high due to various reasons, one of them being lack of resources.
Women of color, who are usually at a lower socioeconomic status, are deprived of important resources such as midwives and doulas which has proven to be detrimental to their health. We’ve created a website to help log your emotions and pain level not only for your own record but also for other medical professionals to validate and talk about. We hope to lower the numbers of women dying during childbirth and create a supportive community for you and your loved ones.
