BIG NEWS! Today, Healthy Birth Day, Inc. has been selected to be announced at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) 2024 Annual Meeting introducing innovative new AI technology and research that will help identify patterns and risk factors in pregnancy that may otherwise go unnoticed. Our commitment to action takes Count the Kicks, our free, easy-to-use pregnancy app and infuses innovative new AI technology that will help identify patterns and risk factors in pregnancy that may otherwise go unnoticed. A change in a baby’s movement patterns in the third trimester is often the earliest red flag in pregnancy that something might be going wrong. Count the Kicks is a proven early warning system that has already saved the lives of moms and babies in 36 states and 6 countries. Maternal health researchers will study, through the Count the Kicks app, whether AI can accurately predict and warn providers when something is off --- even earlier than before. In addition, we are unveiling our new ‘Ask Ana’ feature, an AI-generated assistant where Count the Kicks app users can receive evidence-based, curated responses to questions about baby’s movement, providing additional autonomy and advocacy for expectant parents. The AI-based assistant will provide real-time support to expectant mothers, offering insights tailored to their unique pregnancy experiences. After strong demand from current app users and doctors nationwide, Count the Kicks is also adding a contraction timer to its free app later this year. "We believe Healthy Birth Day's commitment will truly move the needle in improving birth outcomes and preventing stillbirths for vulnerable communities," said Greg Milne, CEO of the Clinton Global Initiative. "By utilizing AI to impact maternal health inequities, we're excited to amplify solutions to our most pressing common challenges." We are so honored to become a CGI Commitment Maker, which is elevating the work of Count the Kicks and how we help get babies here safely and improve outcomes for moms. It means we are accelerating progress in our work to end preventable stillbirth.  We are excited to be joining Clinton Global at their Annual Meeting! Solutions will be in session and we’re proud to be a part of What’s Working to make the world a better place. #CGI2024
