Babyscripts’ three-tiered approach to virtual maternity care allows providers to deliver risk-specific care to pregnant mothers at any time, in any place. The first tier consists of a digital education layer delivered via a mobile app, with daily gestational-age and practice-specific, customizable content extending through one year postpartum to engage and empower pregnant mothers through trusted resources. The second tier enables virtual management of pregnant patients through the addition of remote monitoring. Depending on the risk, patients are provided with medical devices (like a bluetooth-enabled blood pressure cuff) to monitor for elevated risk, alerting the provider through a unique trigger alert system to enable risk management and intervention. This smart end-to-end management of patients enables the provider to transition care outside of the clinic and address problems of access, allowing them to automate a majority of their patient care while more effectively allocating time and resources to higher-risk patients. The third tier brings the insurer into the equation in a unique collaboration between the care team and payer, solving some of the structural issues of care coordination and access to care, improving outcomes while reducing cost.
Cognotion is a provider of cloud-based training programs used to empower allied health professionals with the skills they need for the global marketplace. The company develops a suite of learning solutions that are optimized for the unique needs of young adults, especially focusing on the growing issue of unemployment and underemployment both in the US and abroad. Their mission is to change the face of healthcare, improve outcomes for patients, and empower the dedicated workers that serve this challenging industry. They craft Optimal Learning Experiences emotionally and cognitively intense training and test prep applications that combine interactive video narratives with gamified learning modules, augmented by live simulation and social media reinforcement. It’s a formula that delivers immediate, lasting results. Cognotion operates on the premise that there is a narrative inherent in any teachable subject. They locate this narrative and craft it into an immersive storyline. The learner progresses through the story by drawing upon existing resources and synthesizing new knowledge. Emotional proximity is characterized as the “empathy and identification the learner feels for the characters in a program” and is established by developing characters with strengths and weaknesses, who change and grow as the program moves forward. Learners recognize their own desires and concerns in the prototypical heroes, people with traits similar to their own, and people who learn to draw upon their own reserves of strengths (assets) for the greater good. This approach, grounded in research, is a good foundation for a sound program; but there are other tools they add to their pedagogical design to maximize the likelihood of impact.

Babyscripts’ three-tiered approach to virtual maternity care allows providers to deliver risk-specific care to pregnant mothers at any time, in any place. The first tier consists of a digital education layer delivered via a mobile app, with daily gestational-age and practice-specific, customizable content extending through one year postpartum to engage and empower pregnant mothers through trusted resources. The second tier enables virtual management of pregnant patients through the addition of remote monitoring. Depending on the risk, patients are provided with medical devices (like a bluetooth-enabled blood pressure cuff) to monitor for elevated risk, alerting the provider through a unique trigger alert system to enable risk management and intervention. This smart end-to-end management of patients enables the provider to transition care outside of the clinic and address problems of access, allowing them to automate a majority of their patient care while more effectively allocating time and resources to higher-risk patients. The third tier brings the insurer into the equation in a unique collaboration between the care team and payer, solving some of the structural issues of care coordination and access to care, improving outcomes while reducing cost.
