The Northeast Florida Healthy Start Coalition (NEFHSC), Baptist Health, and Philips Avent have joined forces to provide a no-cost subscription to Philips’ Pregnancy+ app’s premium version for one year.
This initiative aims to enhance educational resources for families in Baker, Clay, and Duval counties, ensuring better health outcomes for both mothers and babies.
Baptist Health Community Impact and Investment vice-president Katie Ensign said: “We want to do everything we can to improve the health and well-being of babies and their mothers.
“By coming alongside moms and families with information in the palm of their hands on relevant topics such as safe sleep practices, breastfeeding and mental health tips, we intend to improve health outcomes and save lives.”
The Pregnancy+ app is designed to enhance a woman’s prenatal care and offers personalised content, expert advice, and interactive 3D models to monitor a baby’s growth.
It provides a daily feed of articles relevant to the user’s stage of pregnancy and allows for customisation of pregnancy tracking.
