Remote Patient Monitoring · Coordination & Monitoring

Care does not stop when the visit ends

Most of a pregnancy happens at home, in the weeks between appointments. Ouma's remote patient monitoring program gives our specialists a window into those weeks. A rising blood pressure or an out-of-range glucose becomes a clinician's call sooner, not a crisis later.

Built for equity, backed by expertise

Protocols built by our MFM team, not generic automation

Every alert, reading, and care plan in Ouma's RPM program is developed and supervised by our Maternal-Fetal Medicine team, and grounded in current clinical guidelines.

Most remote monitoring is automation waiting for a number to cross a line. Ouma's is different. The protocols are designed by maternal-fetal medicine specialists and reviewed by clinicians who understand maternity risk.

That expertise is what turns a stream of readings into real care. The program is built for members who are often hardest to reach, including those in maternity deserts and those managing a high-risk pregnancy, so distance and access stop deciding who gets watched closely.

The problem

Diseases do not stop at the office door

“Diseases do not stop at the office door. They continue. RPM lets us see what is happening in the spaces between visits.”

A high-risk pregnancy is not managed in the exam room. It is managed in the weeks in between, when a patient is at home, at work, or asleep, hundreds of readings away from her next appointment.

Hypertension and diabetes do not pause between visits. They keep moving. For most of maternity care, a clinician sees a snapshot every few weeks and infers the rest.

The spaces between visits are exactly where preventable complications take root. A pressure creeps upward, a glucose pattern drifts out of range, quietly, until it is not quiet anymore.

Remote patient monitoring closes that gap. It turns the blind weeks between appointments into a continuous stream of insight, so the people responsible for a patient's care can see what is happening at home and act on it early.

Conditions we monitor

Two of the most dangerous complications in maternity

Ouma's RPM program focuses on two of the most dangerous and time-sensitive complications in maternity, hypertension and diabetes, and on the access barriers that keep members from being watched closely in the first place.

Hypertension

Continuous blood-pressure visibility across pregnancy and postpartum.

Hypertensive disorders are among the most dangerous and most time-sensitive complications in maternity. The window between a warning sign and an emergency can be short.
Remote BP monitoring improves how reliably pressures are captured and followed up. It can also narrow disparities in postpartum follow-up.¹
Readings from home let a clinician adjust management or escalate before a pressure becomes a crisis, including in the postpartum weeks when patients often stop coming in.

Diabetes

Continuous glucose insight for gestational and pre-existing diabetes.

Glucose in pregnancy moves day to day and hour to hour. A single office check tells you very little about the pattern.
Aggregating a patient's glucometer and CGM data into one continuous picture lets clinicians see trends instead of snapshots.
Faster recognition of out-of-range patterns means faster titration and fewer downstream complications, the core of a diabetes-in-pregnancy program.

Let's map it out together →

What members get

Designed to reach members where they are

The program is designed to reach members where they are, with as little for them to manage as possible.

Cell-enabled devices. A scale and a blood-pressure cuff for everyone, and a glucometer when it is clinically indicated. Devices are cellular, so there is nothing for the member to pair or sync.
Shipped to the member. Devices arrive at the member's door with bilingual instructions and nurse setup support, ready to use.
An optional app. Members who want it get an app that includes social-determinants and mood screening plus educational content, so support goes beyond vitals.

Postpartum coverage. Monitoring continues up to 12 months after delivery, through the window when patients often stop coming in.
Members keep their devices. The devices stay with the member after delivery.
Support if a device fails. Both Ouma and the device partner stand behind the hardware if something stops working.

Mood and SDoH screening can route members into Behavioral Health, another of Ouma's maternity services, whenever they need more support.

How it works

From a reading at home to a clinical decision

A device is shipped to the member.

It arrives ready to use, with bilingual instructions and nurse setup support, so getting started does not depend on the member's tech comfort.

A protocol is assigned.

The MFM team sets the plan for the member, for example daily weights, twice-daily blood pressure, or routine glucose checks.

Data is reviewed by a clinician.

Readings transmit to Ouma, where critical readings prompt rapid outreach from an MFM clinician and routine readings are followed on an ongoing basis.

Readings are read in context.

Every reading is reviewed alongside the member's full patient record, which makes for smarter, more personalized decisions.

RPM is not an emergency service. In an emergency, always call 911.

The device ecosystem

Technology that gets out of the way

Ouma is vendor-agnostic. We choose partners whose technology gets out of the way, so the data reaches a clinician and the member barely has to think about it. Marani is our preferred device partner, and the program works with others as needed.

Preferred device partner

Marani Health

A cellular blood-pressure cuff and glucometer, shipped to the member's door.

Marani's devices are cellular-enabled. The blood-pressure cuff transmits its readings directly over the cell network to Ouma's clinicians.
There is no phone to pair, no Bluetooth to sync, and no app for the member to troubleshoot. Whether the data gets through does not depend on a member's phone or tech comfort.
Marani is our preferred partner, not our only one. Because the program is vendor-agnostic, we can match the device to the member.

GDM interface

LilyLink

The dashboard that unifies a patient's diabetes data.

LilyLink is the software layer for gestational diabetes. It aggregates a patient's CGMs and glucometers, including Dexcom and Freestyle Libre, into a single clinician dashboard.
The whole glucose picture lives in one place instead of scattered across apps. It powers Ouma's diabetes-in-pregnancy monitoring, turning raw device streams into something a clinician can act on quickly.
Any LilyLink OB practice can also refer into Ouma's national GDM team.

Home imaging

Pulsenmore

RPM beyond vitals, an ultrasound probe at home.

Ouma extended RPM past hypertension and diabetes into ultrasound at home. Pulsenmore's FDA-authorized home ultrasound probe ships to patients in maternity deserts who would otherwise drive 1 to 3 hours for a scan.
Under MFM supervision, patients perform basic scans from home. This saves windshield time and childcare juggling, and keeps care reachable for the communities furthest from it.
It follows the same philosophy as the rest of the program: bring the monitoring to the patient, keep a specialist on the other end. See also Ultrasound Interpretation.

The prevention case

Most maternal harm is preventable. RPM attacks the reasons it is not.

When the CDC's review committees look at why maternal deaths happen, the same theme surfaces again and again. A large majority are preventable, and they hinge on two things: early recognition and timely access to care.

Those are precisely the two problems remote patient monitoring is built to solve. RPM watches the readings that would otherwise go unseen between visits, and when something changes a clinician can already have eyes on it.

There is no waiting for the next appointment, and no waiting for a symptom bad enough to send a patient to the ER. Monitoring shortens the distance between a warning sign and a response.

More than 4 in 5

Over 80% of pregnancy-related deaths in the U.S. are preventable.²
