The Marani platform is intended for use in all pregnant individuals including both low- and high-risk patients. High-risk includes those with limited access to insurance or consistent healthcare, obese individuals, those over 35 and those with pre-existing chronic conditions. Low risk includes all other pregnancies who may have difficulties accessing prenatal care where remote monitoring enables improved access to care. We think it is imperative to monitor those deemed low-risk at the outset of their pregnancy as low-risk can turn to high-risk quickly. We give clinicians the ability to adjust protocols as patients evolve.
Factors outlined by the NIH that lead to high-risk pregnancy include:
Existing health conditions:
Age, High blood pressure, PCOS, Diabetes, Kidney disease, autoimmune disease, thyroid disease, obesity, HIV/AIDS, Zika
Social determinants of health:
Access to transportation, food, medicine, health care services, safe place to live, housing, time off work, and childcare. Alcohol, tobacco, or drug use/abuse.
Mental Health:
Anxiety or depression
Conditions of Pregnancy:
Multiple gestation, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia or eclampsia, a previous preterm birth, a previous c-section delivery, or birth defects/genetic conditions of the fetus.
