"I am not sleeping."
Postpartum depression starts here for many. We screen, route, and follow up.
Free for patients, in Spanish or English, with a 24/7 bilingual nurse line and a record that follows her from pregnancy through her child's first 18 years, across providers and across the border.
Free for patients. Medicaid and most plans accepted. In Spanish or English.

Mic on every form

Free for patients. Always. In-network with most plans.
Built for the border-corridor, in plain language
Why now
Maternal mortality in the United States is rising while it falls in nearly every comparable country. The gap is widest for Black, Hispanic, and rural patients. The gaps are concrete, and so are the fixes.

These are the gaps Materna Health Solutions is built around: continuity that does not collapse at handoffs, screening that catches what is treatable, and a chart that travels with the patient instead of waiting at one clinic's fax machine.
Three doors. One platform.
The patient, the clinician, and the payer all need different things from a maternal-care platform. Most platforms pick one and hope. We built for all three from day one.
For patients
For clinicians
For payers and ACOs
The platform
Materna is a single longitudinal record stitched together by three working layers.
A voice agent quietly listens to provider visits, captures structured vitals and symptoms, drafts the SOAP note, and surfaces safety patterns in real time.
A patient PWA in fully equal English and Spanish. Every form has a mic. Pregnancy → birth → postpartum → child to age 18, with a cross-border export.
Algorithms watch for preeclampsia, preterm birth, gestational diabetes, postpartum depression, and growth concerns. Alerts route to the assigned provider with context.
What we listen for
These are the kinds of things patients say. The platform is built so that what she says shows up where it matters, in the language she said it in, with the right person reaching out fast.
"I am not sleeping."
Postpartum depression starts here for many. We screen, route, and follow up.
"Mi cabeza me duele mucho."
A severe headache plus vision changes is preeclampsia until proven otherwise.
"He is not letting me come to my appointment."
Coercion is a clinical concern. We have a private path to a social worker.
"I am crossing the border to deliver."
Your record crosses with you. FHIR R4 bundle, consent-gated, both providers see the chart.
Phrases above are illustrative of the kinds of statements the platform listens for, not patient quotes.
From the founders
A note from a clinician who has practiced in this corridor for forty years, written for the patients, the providers, and the partners who are choosing where to put their trust.
I was born in Yuma County. I have practiced obstetrics on this border for longer than most of the platforms claiming to fix maternal care have existed. I have caught babies on both sides of the line. I have read records that did not follow the patient. I have watched continuity collapse at every handoff.
Materna Health Solutions exists because the people who carry pregnancies in this corridor deserve a chart that travels with them, in the language they think and dream in, with a clinician who can answer in under a minute, and a care coordinator who can close a gap before it becomes a crisis.
We are early. We are building this with patients, with bilingual clinicians, and with health systems whose names belong to them, not to a marketing page. When we make claims, those claims will be backed by data we can show you. Until then, what you see here is the design intent and the architecture, not a count of lives held.

First launch
Calexico/Mexicali. San Diego/Tijuana. El Paso/Ciudad Juárez. McAllen/Reynosa. The places where pregnancies cross national lines and continuity collapses. We start there, by design.
Voice-first
Tap the mic on any form and speak naturally. Materna parses what she said, shows it back to her, and waits for her to confirm before saving. Or she can ask the floating coral companion anything: "schedule a reminder for my prenatal vitamins", and it's done.

Materna Health Solutions is in early development. Outcome metrics will be published once we have lived data to share, with full methodology.
We do real demos with real provider workflows, never canned slides.
