Our Mission
Maternal mortality is unacceptably high. As a leading cause of maternal mortality, preeclampsia and related hypertensive disorders of pregnancy claim the lives of nearly 76,000 mothers and 500,000 babies worldwide every year. This life-threatening complication of pregnancy can be prevented by better diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. PreFree can do this. It is an AI-based decision support tool for physicians to identify pregnant women at risk for pregnancy complications, especially preeclampsia. PreFree intends to reduce the risk of false diagnoses, to avoid unnecessary hospitalization, and to reduce healthcare costs via patient-centered remote care in the convenience and support of patients’ homes.
Our Vision
In the future, PreFree can add new technologies for additional benefits, and expand to other pregnancy complications and regions with an even higher prevalence of preeclampsia. This personalized patient-centered care will lead to smart resource allocation and patient empowerment.
About the Project
Solution
This patient-centered solution was developed based on a clinical outcome database and user research with patients and physicians.
The solution aims to support physicians to identify the individual risk for preeclampsia, and to decide whether to hospitalize patients in need or to allow patients with low risk to return to their homes. The decision support solution will be complemented by a remote monitoring system that enables women returning home to closely monitor their signs and symptoms in a close loop with their physicians.
What we are looking for
Cooperations with insurance companies for patient-centered care studies.
Cooperations with clinical institutions for clinical validation.
Partnership within Pharma or Medtech industry for co-development, and
software documentation companies for co-development.
