Lōvu Health, a digital maternal health company, has obtained $ 8 million in Funds from Serie A, which will use to invest in AI, the company announced last week.
The company based in Cupertino, California, supports both the mother and the baby from conception to two years after childbirth. The company assigns a pregnancy browser to work with the mother and her obstetrician. Patients receive devices such as an blood pressure monitor, fetal heart rate and intelligent scale, which connect to the Lōvu application. The company monitors the vital daily and notifies the OB if there is any problem, and patients receive a weekly report on their vital ones.
The Lōvu application also recommends tools such as nutrition and exercise guidance, as well as mental health records. In addition, mothers have access to a third -party digital suppliers market for specialized care, lactation support, sexual welfare advice, physiotherapy and mental health.
The round of series A was directed by SJF Ventures and included the participation of Rogue Women’s Fund, Symphonic Capital, Emmeline Ventures, Majella Ventures, Oakwood Circle Ventures, Sand Hill Angels, Swizzle Ventures, Terrasys, Stand Together Ventures and Alumni. In total, Lōvu has obtained $ 14 million in funds.
“SJF has had a long-standing interest in maternal health and Lōvu has stood out for years, since we see the extension of the company of the Obstetra office, in addition to a new market for associated specialized solutions such as the optimal win-win strategy for suppliers, health plans and mothers,” said Perry Clarkson, a partner in SJF Ventures, in a statement.
The financing will help the company invest in AI and launch three augmentative agents in the near future. In addition, the financing “will support automation, integrations and staff as the company scale to meet the demand for mothers, doctors and suppliers,” according to the announcement.
Financing occurs when the United States occupies the worst among high -income countries in maternal mortality. And 80% of these deaths can be prevention. At the same time, there is a shortage of Ob/Gyns, since one in three counties in the United States are maternal care deserts.
“Our current unique size maternal care model is failing mothers and babies,” said Noel Pugh, co -founder and CEO of Lōvu Health. “Every future mother and her baby deserve equitable access to precision care guided by innovative technology and evidence -based ideas. The Platform with AI of Lōvu transforms workflows and modernizes clinical practices and intervenes closely, while offering wrapping support that changes the way we bring life to this world.”
Other companies that sacrifice support for maternal health include Partum Health, Maven Clinic and Pomelo Care.
