A Prescription for Better Maternal Care: What the HITLAB Report Says About Myri Health
When care ends too soon, complications begin too early. That’s the reality for millions of birthing parents navigating postpartum recovery with barely a safety net. Nearly one in three U.S. mothers miss their six-week check-up (CDC, 2023). The recent HITLAB usability review of Myri Health offers a powerful validation: not just of an app, but of a long-overdue shift in digital maternal care.
The system is fragmented, dismissive, and too late.
Myri exists to change that.
Gaps that Begin Before Birth: Real Crisis in Maternal Support
We talk a lot about postpartum depression and missed follow-ups. But the cracks begin far earlier.
Pregnancy complications often go unnoticed until they escalate: hypertension, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, mental health issues. Many birthing parents never get enough time with their provider to be heard, much less monitored closely.
One six-week postpartum visit is the norm in the U.S., and it’s rarely enough. As a result to this ignorance, too many mothers fall through the gaps, facing preventable health issues that ripple into their families and futures.
HITLAB's report surfaces what we already see on the ground: better outcomes begin with early detection, continuous support, and proactive care.
Infrastructure for Maternal Care That Lasts
Myri replaces fragmentation with continuity. It builds the missing connective tissue between appointments, between systems, between people.
Myri is a maternal-health infrastructure platform, one that integrates predictive pregnancy monitoring, personalized recovery, and timely intervention from early pregnancy through postpartum.
Instead of episodic care, Myri provides a continuous layer of digital support:
AI-driven health-risk screening to flag complications early—before they escalate (“AI postpartum support” long-tail keyword).
Integrated physical-recovery plans like pelvic-floor and core programs, often ignored in traditional care.
Nutrition support through PlatePal, which detects food items via image and offers personalized calorie guidance.
Monitoring tools for key health indicators: bleeding, glucose levels, blood pressure, wound healing, and more.
Data visualization and insight generation for both users and care providers to make sense of trends.
24/7 AI voice chat that listens, guides, and connects—when human support isn’t available.
Evidence-based education and community support that adapts to where each mother is in her journey.
What It Means for Stakeholders
For Mothers – A safe place to track, learn, heal, and ask. Without judgment, jargon, or endless Google searches.
For Employers – Healthier moms return to work sooner, feel more supported, and require fewer long-term interventions.
For Health Plans/Payers – Fewer readmissions, earlier diagnosis of complications, and scalable cost savings through prevention: NO patchwork care.
For Governments & Public Health Systems – A platform that can be deployed at scale to address maternal mortality, improve equity, and deliver on the promise of care that doesn’t stop at delivery.
A Validated Path Forward
HITLAB’s expert review confirmed what we’ve always set out to build: a trusted, accessible, and effective maternal care platform for maternal health. Their evaluation praised Myri’s:
Clean, intuitive design and structure.
Reliability and ease of use across user types, even on low-bandwidth connections.
Personalized health insights powered by real-time data.
Tools that address postpartum needs often ignored in clinical settings.
From tracking blood-sugar trends to supporting scar management, we meet women where they are. With care that’s smart, compassionate, and timely.
From the Myri Team
We built Myri to be the care system that should’ve existed all along.
The HITLAB review confirms what mothers, providers, and public health leaders have been telling us: the current maternal-care model leaves too many behind. It’s reactive, fragmented, and stops when support is needed the most.
Myri is changing that.
By combining AI-powered insights, continuous monitoring, recovery support, and global accessibility, Myri is laying the foundation for a better standard of care: one that meets every woman where she is, before and after birth.
