Dikea Roussos-Ross of UF has developed a smartphone app called Gator MOMitor that new mothers can use to report postpartum symptoms. Many mothers do not visit the doctor within the first four to six weeks after giving birth, a crucial period where they are susceptible to complications.
“Our hope with this app is to improve communication between the postpartum patient and her health team, allowing us to take better care of our patients and in turn decrease maternal morbidity. We want women to know that we are still invested in their health, even after the baby is delivered,” said Roussos-Ross.
