The Challenge

Bridging the Gap in
Postpartum Care

Black women in the United States face a maternal mortality crisis — dying at rates 3 to 4 times higher than white women. Fragmented postpartum care and a persistent perceived need gap leave mothers unsupported during their most vulnerable moments.

A Voice That Listens

Elle, our AI voice agent, provides emotionally intelligent, culturally aware support — available whenever you need someone to hear you.

Human When It Matters

When you need a real person, our human-in-the-loop system connects you immediately to doulas, nurses, and crisis hotlines.

Resources by Mothers

Curated access to clinics, shelters, emergency care, healthlines, and community resources — chosen by mothers and women who understand.

How It Works

A System Built Around You

After birth, mothers are introduced to a support system that listens, understands, and connects — always keeping human care at the center.

01

AI Onboarding

Cultural synchronization and baseline health markers. The system learns your context to provide personalized, culturally concordant support.

02

Context-Aware Empathy

An emotionally intelligent reasoning loop powered by advanced language models. Elle understands symptoms in real time within your specific lived experience.

03

Safety Verification

Symbolic safety triggers detect when situations require immediate human intervention — no critical moment goes unnoticed.

04

Human Connection

Immediate linkage to real human care — doulas, nurses, clinicians, and crisis hotlines. The human provider remains the ultimate decision-maker.

Our Vision

Centering Black women's unique risks to address critical gaps in maternal health.

The mortality crisis among Black mothers necessitates systems that prioritize human factors and equitable safety insights. Our architecture avoids a fully autonomous "Black Box" approach — ensuring the agent acts as an empathetic filter while the human provider remains the ultimate decision-maker.

By integrating context-driven reasoning, the agent understands symptoms in real time within the specific lived experience of the mother, bridging gaps in fragmented care systems.

This framework ensures mothers maintain continuity of support during the vulnerable "fourth trimester" — when clinical monitoring traditionally declines and mothers need it most.
