Ouma Health is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Pulsenmore Ltd. (NASDAQ: PLSM) (TASE: PLSM), a pioneer in home ultrasound technology, to expand access to remote prenatal care across the United States.
Through this collaboration, Ouma will incorporate Pulsenmore's FDA-authorized home ultrasound platform into its virtual maternity care offering. The integration allows clinicians to extend prenatal ultrasound monitoring beyond the clinic and into patients' homes, maintaining a continuous connection between expectant mothers and their care teams throughout pregnancy.
For Ouma, this partnership reflects where maternity care is heading: more connected, more patient-centered, and less bound to the four walls of a clinic.
Many of the patients Ouma serves face significant geographic and logistical barriers to prenatal care, including those living in maternity care deserts and underserved communities. With 35% of U.S. counties classified as maternal care deserts, the combination of virtual care and home ultrasound has real potential to close critical access gaps. Home ultrasound brings more of the prenatal monitoring experience into the home, while a clinical team reviews the information and guides next steps—making virtual maternity care more clinically complete for patients who cannot easily access specialty care in person.
"At Ouma, we care for patients who often face significant geographic and logistical barriers to prenatal care, including those living in maternity deserts and underserved communities," said Sina Haeri, MD, CEO and Co-Founder of Ouma Health. "Pulsenmore's technology gives us a way to bring more of the prenatal monitoring experience into the home, while keeping patients connected to a clinical team that can review the information and guide next steps. This partnership helps us make virtual maternity care more clinically complete, especially for patients who cannot easily access specialty care in person."
For Pulsenmore, the agreement marks a significant expansion of its presence in the U.S. maternal health market and an opportunity to integrate its home ultrasound platform into an established virtual care model serving expectant mothers nationwide.
"Maternal healthcare is undergoing a fundamental transformation toward more connected, patient-centered care models," said Elazar Sonnenschein, MD, Founder and CEO of Pulsenmore. "By partnering with Ouma Health, we have an opportunity to bring ultrasound beyond the walls of the clinic and into established virtual maternity care pathways, helping healthcare professionals expand access to prenatal monitoring while keeping patients at the center of care. Virtual care models combined with home ultrasound technology will play an important role in closing critical access gaps for expectant mothers."
Maternal health remains one of the most critical areas of healthcare delivery in the United States. As organizations look for ways to improve access, patient engagement, and care coordination, home ultrasound is emerging as a meaningful component of virtual and hybrid prenatal care models.
This collaboration aims to deliver transformative care for the most underserved patients while building the insights and experience to support future expansion with health systems, maternity care providers, and payer organizations seeking innovative approaches to maternal health delivery. Home ultrasound has the potential to become an important part of the next generation of prenatal care—helping providers expand access, improve patient engagement, and deliver more connected pregnancy care beyond traditional clinical settings.
