Clinical Pilots Underway with Leading Healthcare System Mass General Brigham, Sponsored by The Brigham iHub and Funded by MassTech
BOSTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / June 21, 2022 / Modelo Health™, the world's first pregnancy app for Inclusive Care™, launched in the U. S. The preventive care platform provides risk mitigation to lower maternal mortality and morbidity rates, and works to improve outcomes by elevating health literacy and guiding risk-appropriate and culturally-concordant care. Built on the concept of Inclusive Care™, the platform utilizes principles of precision medicine to provide an unprecedented, holistic 360° view of a mother's risk factors across the five most important health determinants (Clinical, Hereditary, Environmental, Socioeconomic, and Behavioral) throughout her pregnancy journey. Modelo Health's patent-pending technology uses an exclusive blend of evidence-based predictive algorithms and scientific data from the most trusted sources. The platform empowers clinicians and moms with personalized, critical, and previously inaccessible information that can affect health outcomes, both in-clinic and at-home. Championed by Mass General Brigham, pilots are set to commence at three of Boston's award-winning hospitals, soon followed by renown health systems across the nation.
Central to Modelo Health's mission is to eliminate health disparities and reduce preventable harm for all pregnant women. 'Modelo Health, as a bilingual and culturally-concordant app would be an amazing tool for our patients,' said Natalie Adsuar, MD, Cleveland Clinic, Women's Health Institute. The app is available today in both English and Spanish, with more languages in development.
Modelo Health™, the world's first pregnancy app for Inclusive Care™, is now available in the U.S.
Established by Latino co-founders Nicolas Encina and Trish Encina, Modelo Health is a passion venture, built by an experienced team of 80% mothers, 75% minorities, and 50% clinicians and researchers. The company was recently awarded a MassTech Digital Health Grant to fund the Mass General Brigham pilots across the prestigious Brigham & Women's, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Newton-Wellesley Hospital. Work with these top hospitals will build on initial reports showing that:
'Using evidence-based predictive algorithms to detect the risk for severe maternal morbidity (SMM) is the first step in trying to prevent avoidable cases,' said Dr Sarah Rae Easter, MD, Maternal Fetal Medicine, Brigham & Women's Hospital. 'That gives clinicians the time to triage and anticipate a difficult situation, and hopefully avoid it altogether.'
What Does the Modelo Health App Solve For?
Severe maternal morbidity in the U.S. is skyrocketing, increasing by 200% since the early 1990's (CDC). Pregnant women today are more than 2 times as likely to die during pregnancy as their mothers were 30 years ago, and women of color are 2 to 3 times more at risk (CDC). The U.S. has the highest morbidity rates of all developed countries, with 3 of 5 cases being preventable. Modelo Health's mission is to use Inclusive Care™to address the disparities and health inequities in this country by educating and empowering mothers and their care teams to look broadly for signs of risk and to apply interventions early before they cause harm.
'What is exceptional about Modelo Health is its ability to bring together evidence-based, real-time algorithms in a platform that is useful for the clinician and engaging for the patient,' added Dr. Adsuar. 'At the Clinic we're committed to bridging the gap of healthcare inequities in our communities.'
What is Inclusive Care™?
A groundbreaking approach that takes a broad view of the most pertinent elements that impact health outcomes, Inclusive Care™ provides a multi-dimensional, real-time and holistic blueprint of the patient. Backed by data and evidence-based predictive algorithms, this creates a far more precise risk assessment of a patient. Moving beyond the traditional standards of care, Inclusive Care™ informs and guides users through prediction, participation, and prevention to encourage a more dynamic, better informed and collaborative doctor/patient relationship.
Modelo Health's Inclusive Care™ platform encapsulates:
'We're on track to prove that with Inclusive Care™ we can improve health outcomes and better align patient-clinician expectations and trust,' said Nic Encina, co-founder, Modelo Health™. 'Our work with Mass General Brigham will show how this can be done at scale across the most prestigious hospitals in the country.'
