DESCRIPTION

Babyscripts myJourney is a clinically-validated, obstetrics-specific solution that allows OB/GYNs and other maternal health care providers to deliver a new model of prenatal and postpartum care via a mobile app-based platform and remote patient monitoring experiences. It exists to solve the problems generated from the critical shortage of obstetrical providers in the U.S. and to transform the delivery of pregnancy care through the power of technology and remote patient monitoring.

  1. Patient users download the Babyscripts myJourney digital companion app onto their smartphone, enabling 24/7 access to personalized educational content tailored to each stage of pregnancy up through one year postpartum.Through myJourney’s assessment and survey functionality, users self-report health history, mental risk, and social determinants of health data. All data is communicated back to the healthcare team through a provider-facing dashboard, enabling the appropriate intervention and facilitating better clinical decision-making. 
  2. All users also have access to manual blood pressure tracking in the app, even those who are normotensive or considered low-risk, to support the integration of self monitored blood pressure monitoring into routine prenatal and postpartum care. Patients can input BP data manually or automatically into the myJourney app via a manual or internet-connected cuff. Data is available to the healthcare team through a provider-facing dashboard, and high risk situations are actively communicated to the patient’s healthcare team, enabling recognition of hypertension risk when it occurs and informing any necessary changes to the care plan, including the option to enroll patients onto Babyscripts myJourney Blood Pressure RPM. 

Babyscripts myJourney Blood Pressure RPM is specifically designed for high-risk patients and is supported by a care management layer. Patients track their blood pressure readings at home with the support of a dedicated care manager. Readings are recorded via the myJourney app and an internet or cellular-enabled blood pressure cuff, synced with their healthcare provider's system. This integration allows for continuous monitoring and immediate feedback. If a patient's blood pressure reading is outside of the parameters set by their healthcare team, the app alerts the patient, care manager, and the healthcare team, facilitating timely medical intervention. 

  1. Key Components: Babyscripts myJourney Blood Pressure RPM incorporates several key components designed to enhance maternal health outcomes through remote monitoring and patient engagement, including the following: 
  • Connected blood pressure cuff: The program provides patients with a digital blood pressure monitor that is internet or cellular-enabled, allowing patients to measure their blood pressure at home and automatically transmit the readings to their healthcare providers in real-time. 
  • Mobile app integration: The Babyscripts myJourney app integrates seamlessly with the blood pressure cuff, allowing users to easily log and track their readings. The app is accessible on both smartphones and tablets. 
  • Real-time alerts and feedback: The app is programmed to send immediate alerts to patients, care manager, and healthcare providers if any readings fall outside of the parameters set by the healthcare team. By means of a sophisticated exception reporting workflow and the addition of care management support, Babyscripts reduces trigger fatigue, surfacing only actionable data.
  • Care management: Patients enrolled onto Babyscripts BP RPM are matched with a care manager, who operates incident to and under the supervision of the healthcare provider to provide education, motivation, and remove any barriers to compliance with daily blood pressure capture.
  • Tailored educational content: In addition to general pregnancy and postpartum content, patients enrolled in Babyscripts Blood Pressure RPM receive resources specific to their risk profile. 
  • Provider dashboard: Healthcare providers have access to a dedicated dashboard where they can monitor their patients' blood pressure readings, track trends over time, and adjust care plans accordingly. This centralized data collection facilitates better patient management and follow-up care. 
  • Patient engagement and compliance tools: The app includes tools to help patients stay engaged and compliant with their monitoring routines. This includes reminders for taking blood pressure readings, educational materials, and motivational content to encourage adherence. The patient’s care manager communicates regularly to ensure compliance. 
  • Data security and privacy: The platform complies with all relevant healthcare regulations and standards, including HIPAA, to protect patient information.
  • EMR integration: Babyscripts BP RPM integrates into the medical record through several methods, enabling patient onboarding directly in the EMR and automatically filling blood pressure readings into the patient's chart.

Together these components provide a comprehensive solution for managing hypertension in pregnant and postpartum women, significantly improving maternal health outcomes by enabling continuous monitoring and timely medical interventions. The Babyscripts blood pressure RPM model is reimbursable, offering a sustainable service for providers to improve the patient experience and outcomes related to hypertension during pregnancy.

  1. Babyscripts partnered with GW-MFA and others in a number of research projects, with results published in ACOG’s Green Journal and JMIR, validating the effectiveness of reduced in-person visits for prenatal care, better management of weight and blood pressure complications, improving compliance and adherence to HEDIS measures, and reducing rates of readmission in the postpartum period through remote monitoring. 
  2. Babyscripts' patient-centric solution extends care outside the four walls of the office, making personalized healthcare education, risk-stratified remote monitoring, and real-time virtual triage as readily accessible as the smartphone, responding to mothers’ needs for accessibility and convenience. Babyscripts has deeply engaged this patient population, with 92% of users saying that they would recommend the solution to their friends.
  3. Babyscripts' vision for improving care has always been driven and amplified by clinicians: strategic partners like George Washington Medical Faculty Associates, Cone Health System, and Advocate Aurora Healthcare, among others. These partnerships are essential to Babyscripts' project of creating solutions for patients with and for clinicians.
  4. Babyscripts gives the healthcare team and payer the ability to monitor both behavioral compliance and physical vital signs between visits, to identify adverse trends in real-time and lower the cost of care. The ability to integrate Babyscripts into the EMR and clinical workflow is one of its most important value-adds, allowing providers to offer comprehensive virtual care and payers and deliver “next generation” care coordination.

Use cases and differentiators

Babyscripts is appropriate for pregnant and postpartum mothers of any risk category. Through a digital education layer delivered via a mobile app and connected devices that communicate biometric, mental health, and sociological data back to the provider, Babyscripts targets issues such as preeclampsia, weight gain, hypertension, mental health, and social barriers such as access to care.

Babyscripts myJourney blood pressure RPM is specifically designed for patients at high risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and is supported by a care management layer.

Babyscripts offers postpartum support up through one year post-childbirth. 

OBGYNS, midwives, RNs, payers, social workers, care managers, case managers, primary care providers deliver our solution to pregnant and postpartum patients/members. 

  1. Babyscripts has exclusively licensed best-in-class protocols that allow the company to make categorical claims in the market around efficacy and outcomes.
  2. The Babyscripts solution has been clinically-validated through peer reviewed research and case studies proving efficacy in schedule optimization, patient engagement, and other outcomes.
  3. Babyscripts has a wealth of its own IP in managing patients remotely (like maintaining compliance) and in detecting and triaging abnormal data points to reduce false positives and elevate real problems.
  4. While some health systems might invest in specific component parts of what Babyscripts typically offers (an app or integrating data points from IOT devices back to the record), the real challenge is in scaling programs and offering the right protocol at the point of care to generate ROI. Babyscripts is the expert in remote obstetrical care and since 2014 has accumulated a wealth of collateral, assets and best practices that enable these programs to scale.
  5. Babyscripts is a scaled program that is significantly less expensive to implement and use than a health system trying to build and maintain their own program. Babyscripts represents a lower cost for health systems to develop, deploy and maintain, with the added benefit of continuous technical and customer support managed by Babyscripts.
  1. Babyscripts offers the only clinically-validated, obstetrics-specific mobile platform that delivers educational information that aligns with a provider's care plan. While other maternity programs deliver evidence-based content, only Babyscripts allows the provider to customize their content, delivering the exact information that they want the patient to see and eliminating confusion. 
  2. Babyscripts deploys internet-enabled medical devices that directly triage information like high blood pressure back to the physician automatically in their desired workflow, a solution that no consumer app provides. Because of the connection with the provider, Babyscripts detects abnormal trends and then triages those data points directly to the provider’s office. With Babyscripts’ risk-specific modules, a provider is able to deliver different clinical experiences to patients dependent on risk. Babyscripts provides the only clinically-validated solution to focus on obstetrics. 
  3. Babyscripts is the first obstetrics-specific digital solution to connect payers and providers, improving care coordination for maternal health populations, monitoring adherence to quality measures, and improving patient engagement and outcomes. This solution helps mothers overcome barriers to care by assessing for risk, providing mothers with direct access to resources directly correlated with their identified risks.

I’d have a bake sale for this product to get it into the hands of more patients

"I usually ask my patients ‘what do you think? How’s it going?’ This one didn’t say…I didn’t ask her how she thought Babyscripts was going... she just spontaneously said, ‘I love this! I like how they inform you about decisions you should make with your labor, breastfeeding, and postpartum. It helps me plan and I feel safer using the app.’ This is also a woman of color. And so I think anything that we can do as obstetricians in this country to make women of color feel safer as they go through the process of pregnancy and birth, I’ll sign up for that any day. It’s one example, it doesn’t tell the whole story, but certainly our patients have had a really positive experience with [Babyscripts].

I’d have a bake sale for this product to get it into the hands of more patients. I believe that it supports safer care and I’m excited to get this service into the hands of those who need it most – our clinic population, our population with lower health literacy and fewer health resources."

Keeps patients engaged

"We used Babyscripts with great success as a more engaging and accessible solution than complicated and clunky patient portals. We’ve used it in the past to push out information on heat waves and the flu, and now it’s proving essential for updating patients on Covid — not just giving them information about symptoms and changing policies, but also providing them the security of a single trusted resource in the midst of being bombarded with information from all sides. Text, email, and push notifications are helping us keep patients engaged even when not seeing them as often.

Because SBH is resource-poor, we needed to figure out a way to pay for expanding virtual care. We’re now implementing Babyscripts' solution for remote blood pressure management that will help us reduce the amount of appointments and keep moms out of the clinic, and we’re working with our major payer to get reimbursement for these tools."

Cutting-edge maternity care capabilities

According to the CDC, sixty-percent of maternal deaths are preventable. We need to have a consistent strategy that addresses all patient risks and involves all stakeholders in order to drive that number down to zero. For Privia, that means offering our providers access to [Babyscripts'] cutting-edge maternity care capabilities to support their patients outside of the office, from the moment a mother finds out she's pregnant to a year after childbirth, which is when so many women fall through the cracks in our healthcare system.

Advanced technology and remote monitoring

Data tells us that it was more dangerous to give birth in 2019 than it was in 1999, particularly for Black women. Healthcare cannot be excellent if it is not equitable. It is our hope that through [Babyscripts'] advanced technology and remote monitoring, adverse outcomes can be prevented and ultimately save the lives of mothers across our region.

We can be really proactive

We're doing remote monitoring. We started this project with our pregnant women where we have them log into [Babyscripts], which has an educational platform, and they can watch all the prenatal educational materials at their leisure. It could be in bed, after dinner or after the kids are asleep. We also monitor what videos they are watching more often to make sure we're giving them enough education. We also give women who are at risk for developing high blood pressure a blood pressure monitor. Let's say they have a history of high blood pressure in the past, or maybe they're a little overweight. So, we look at the risk factors, we give them a blood pressure monitor, and then we teach them how to use it. We can also monitor how often they are taking their blood pressure. We can see if it's trending higher or stable. We can be really proactive about their prenatal care rather than waiting until something happens.

Powerful platform

With Babyscripts, our doctors and patients have access to a powerful platform to connect and share data throughout the patient’s pregnancy and postpartum care. Babyscripts has allowed us to increase our touch points within our community and allow our patients to access important information about their pregnancy 24/7 – when it is convenient or pertinent to them. It’s been exciting to see the Babyscripts adoption grow among our doctors, practices and patients. I don’t anticipate it slowing down.

Monitor and advise patients remotely

The Froedtert and MCW health network has a strong track record of incorporating leading technology to enhance care delivery. The recent coronavirus has increased the importance of using digital tools to provide expecting moms with the care they need, without exposing them to the unnecessary risk of an in-person visit. With Babyscripts deployed through Xealth, providers can monitor and advise patients remotely, keeping apprised of pregnancy progression without the patients leaving home.

Excellent resource!

Babyscripts has been an integral part of our prenatal care delivery for over a decade. We use it to monitor BPs, encourage self-monitoring/self-care, and to provide information. The platform was particularly helpful during the pandemic when we needed to give our pregnant patients information quickly.

Game changer for our patients and health care team

Babyscripts has been beneficial for both our patients and our entire health care team. Patients love it becasue: they like the ability to self-monitor their blood pressure and knowing we are alerted if it's elevated; easy access to an entire library of resources that are in one place and evidence based; and it keeps all our practice information in one spot. some people also love the weight monitoring, although I receive fewer direct comments on that feature. Physicians/midwives/nurses love it because they no longer have to repeat basic educational information - patients receive and review it in advance, so we can focus on our conversation on questions. We also have a high quality easy access library of guidance that we can direct people to quickly. Integration in the medical record for blood pressure has made using the remote monitoring super easy. I'm not on the tech side so can't speak to how easy it was to complete the EMR integration, but it works well on the user end. I think the feature I love the most is the ability to send specific information to our patients through email blasts - it's great for notifiying patients of office closures, changes in office or hospital procedure, etc. We used it all the time in COVID to update people on visitor policies and the like. Now we tend to use it for things like notifying people of a parking lot closure due to construction and the like. This feature has made our office manager a big fan.
