Stepping into motherhood brings joy, but it also comes with a set of unique health challenges. @PennMedicine has taken an advanced approach to support new mothers in their journey postpartum. Meet "Mama," a conversational AI tool whose role entwines with helping new moms navigate their healthcare journey during the crucial fourth trimester period. ???? Using Natural Language Processing (NLP), "Mama" can answer common inquiries regarding postpartum recovery, provide information to manage symptoms, & even schedule follow-up appointments. ?? The creation of Mama was spurred by the alarming statistic from the CDC stating that the US has a maternal mortality rate that is more than double that of other developed countries. The aftermath of childbirth, known commonly as the "fourth trimester," often lacks adequate and timely healthcare follow-ups - a gap which Mama seeks to bridge by offering constant postpartum care support at home. ?? To all the healthcare professionals out there - how can AI play an increasingly significant role in patient care, particularly in specialties with critical care periods?
