Lōvu Health’s Post

The traditional care model has fragmented care for moms postpartum when they need it most through leaving a gap of support after birth through their transition from OB/GYN care back to their PCP (not to mention many moms don’t have the luxury of access to a PCP).  We honor and recognize innovators in the space like Centene Corporation with the thought leadership of Dawn Steiner, MD, MS-HQS, FACOG, who test new solutions like rolling back bundled payments to align incentives to providers to continue extended support for moms postpartum. Lōvu Health wraps a wellness blanket around mom and baby postpartum- behavioral health, sexual health, pelvic floor physical therapy and meal delivery support. We create access to wellness as they navigate the journey of motherhood. Noel Pugh Santosh Pandipati, MD, FACOG Jennifer Gibson Julie Harris, RN, CDE Miriam O. Shalom Dike Michelle J. Steven J.

"A recent sampling of 26 commonly used prenatal vitamins, including one prescription brand, found that 40% exceeded the established level of lead toxicity, and toxic elements like aluminum, titanium, thallium, and nickel were detected in every sample." At Lōvu, we are proud to partner with innovators like Kirkman to provide the safest, best options to moms during pregnancy and postpartum. We are thrilled to offer a prenatal vitamin that follows the The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics' stringent guidelines on supplements.

STOP. We need you to pause and think about a number. Maternal mental health is moving in the wrong direction, with Asian or Pacific Islander women seeing a 280% increase in rates of postpartum depression in the last decade. At Lōvu, we meet the needs of ALL of our moms with continued support for women in the 4th trimester through a full year postpartum. We monitor and connect to mental health services through our partners LunaJoy Health, Libbie Health Inc., Brightside Health, Dancy Perinatal Counseling, Ellipsis Health, Mavida Health and The Matrescence. Moms deserve the support they need as they continue to meet the demands of their growing families and communities- we intend to enable a vastly improved trend in the next decade. WATCH US.

The Lōvu Health team had a relaxing moment with Dr. Melissa Adrouny before a dinner with a dynamic group of local bay area OB/GYN providers. It was an inspirational evening full of great conversation about how to meet the needs of the clinical teams and provide moms with the best combination of in-office care and virtual data and navigation support. We are looking forward to extending Lōvu's access to new areas of California this quarter!

Honored to have our CEO and co-founder Noel Pugh speaking on the panel for Innovation in Maternal Health today at the HIMSS Northern California Chapter conference. The leaders and innovators gathered are bringing positive change and impact in the healthcare space and Lōvu Health is proud to be alongside of them.

Excitement with a hint of nerves - that’s how we feel before speaking on a meaningful healthcare panel. And this panel is fundamentally different: Lōvu Health's CEO and co-founder Noel Pugh will speak tomorrow to the foundation of our firm. She will discuss what it means to transform and redesign care using the best AI tools available. The responsibility of how we use AI and how it will impact our moms could not be more important. As we integrate these tools, we look through the lens of a female patient, we contemplate the experience of different populations, women of all backgrounds, education levels and cultures. The way we collect our data and build an AI foundation will have a lasting impact. It must be nuanced, culturally competent and women centric. We are grateful to be invited to this discussion with Emmeline Ventures and with a thought leader and chosen partner- Amanda Ducach with Ema. It looks to be a full house for the discussion.

In celebration of National Nurses Week, we’d like to recognize our incredible team of nurses who play vital roles in the success of our organization. The theme of this year is Nurses Make The Difference. At e-Lōvu, our nurses are the ones who guide a mom with developing preeclampsia with getting the care she needs, the ones who talk to a mom when she is considering harming herself due to her postpartum depression and the ones who mentor our navigation team on how to deliver the right information, care and empathy through a mom’s journey. To our nurses, Janobia T. George, MSN, RNC-OB, Miriam O. and Julie Harris, RN, CDE, we express our utmost gratitude for your expertise and the difference you make every day in our organization and for all the moms and families we support. #NursesLightUpTheSky Noel Pugh Santosh Pandipati, MD, FACOG Terry Duesterhoeft Jennifer Gibson Michelle J.
