Our Goal
Provide consistent remote care management, support, content
and resources to Kenyan women.
GoMo Health leveraged its proprietary emerging science, BehavioralRx, the science of precision health, to build the program and determine the engagement strategy, approach and content delivered.
The following behavioral and cognitive techniques were applied:
Pregnancy tips and resources delivered by text message
Personal Concierge delivers 2-3 Care Messages™ per week via text message for the duration of a pregnancy. The messages are educational, offering tips and guidance to pregnant women to manage their own health care and the health and wellness of their family.
Stratifying patients during enrollment to deliver personalized content
At the start of their participation, patients enter their due date and the program automatically calculates the week of their pregnancy, with trimester-relevant content sent to support the mother-to-be based on where she is in her gestation.
