The Problem

A preventable crisis hiding in plain sight.

0%1

of maternal deaths are preventable

0 in 52

women over 35 with first pregnancy face elevated risk

0%3

of pregnancy complications are associated with modifiable nutrition and lifestyle factors

0%4

The Opportunity

Beyond the human cost, the economics are overwhelming.

$0K+8

average cost of a preterm birth

$0K+9

average cost of one NICU stay

0%10

of all U.S. births covered by Medicaid

0%11

increase in gestational diabetes since 2016

Preterm birth is the single most expensive managed care outcome

Gestational diabetes and preeclampsia are associated with long-term vulnerabilities

Medicaid populations carry the highest risk of maternal complications and adverse neonatal outcomes

Investment in maternal nutrition is associated with reduced downstream costs.

GrowHealth is positioned to capture this gap across payers, health systems, and state Medicaid programs.

The Solution

Nutrition is the most underutilized tool in maternal care.

Nutrition sits at the center of every pregnancy outcome. But in practice, it's an afterthought. The current system isn't built for it. There's no scalable way to deliver personalized nutrition within existing care workflows. Mothers deserve more, and providers need better tools to deliver it.

GrowHealth generates personalized maternal wellness plans that span nutrition, supplements, lifestyle, movement, relaxation, and sleep. Each plan is powered by AI, validated by a real practitioner, and delivered directly to each mother through the platform. Plans evolve over time, refined by new data and ongoing feedback from the mother.

Personalized

Precision nutrition at scale

Built around each mother's unique biology, lifestyle, and circumstances. Not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Accessible

No digital literacy required

The mobile app is the primary experience, but we also support text, phone, and email for mothers who need an alternative. Designed to remove barriers across all income levels and life circumstances.

Evidence-Based

15+ years of outcomes data

2 peer-reviewed studies. 2026 IRB-approved intervention study. Co-developed between OB and nutritionist. Real science, real outcomes.

Platform Capabilities

Designed for scale.

Precision Testing

Nutrigenomic, vaginal, and gut microbiome analysis for truly personalized care.

Nutritional Biomarkers

Unique biomarkers beyond standard prenatal panels.

Product Solutions

Supplement integration tailored to each mother's unique nutritional profile.

Behavioral Models

Science-backed behavior change frameworks with dashboards and wearable integration.

How the Platform Works

From intake to personalized care, guided by science.

Intake + Lab Data

Personal history, lifestyle details, blood work, nutrigenomic, and microbiome testing build a complete picture of each mother's unique biology.

AI-Generated Care Plan

The platform creates a personalized care plan spanning six pillars: meal plans, supplements, lifestyle, movement, relaxation, and sleep.

Practitioner Validated

Every plan is reviewed by a real practitioner. AI serves as a second opinion, providing guidance and validation.

Delivered to Mom

Mothers access their plan through the app, book appointments, message their practitioner, and track daily progress.

Continuous Feedback

Tracking data flows back to the practitioner, allowing care plans to adapt as each pregnancy progresses.

Published Evidence

Built on evidence, not assumptions.

15+ Years of Research Data

Direct practice data spanning 4 states, informing every recommendation.

Multi-Modal Delivery

Group visits, one-on-one, hybrid virtual + live, and 100% telehealth/teletext models.

MCO-Funded Cohorts

Two managed care organization-funded cohorts, one via RFP and one IRB-approved.

Peer-Reviewed Research

2 published peer-reviewed studies. 2026 IRB-approved intervention study.

OB-Integrated

Co-developed between OB and nutritionist. Runs parallel to typical prenatal care.

Underserved Populations

50-100% Medicaid populations in cohorts with high diversity.
