Anoushka shares insights into the current challenges and limitations in maternity care and the role of technology in enhancing care for pregnant women. They cover the mum-centric approach to care, the features of HeraMED's solution, integration with healthcare providers, and the broader impact on healthcare systems. Key Takeaways:- The traditional model of maternity care has remained largely unchanged for about 100 years, with care being centred around hospitals and care providers. HeraMED's solution aims to revolutionise maternity care by delivering a mum-centric approach, empowering women with continuous and convenient care while maintaining the same level of medical grade safety and accuracy.- The solution consists of a Heracare app that integrates different care plans, real-time feedback, and education from renowned sources like the Mayo Clinic. It also allows for the remote monitoring of various pregnancy-related parameters such as blood pressure, glucose levels, and foetal heart rate, facilitating early intervention and reducing the need for frequent in-person visits.- The implementation of digital technologies in maternity care has the potential to address accessibility and equity issues, making high-quality care available to women in remote, rural, and underserved areas. Furthermore, collaboration and ecosystem buy-in are essential for the successful integration of such solutions into healthcare settings and for driving policy changes.Check out the episode and full show notes on the Talking HealthTech website.Loving the show?

Host: Darryl S. Chutka. M.D.; [@chutkaMD] Guest: Cornelia M. Weyand, M.D., Ph.D. Guest: Kenneth J. Warrington, M.D. Rheumatologic problems are some of the most common health conditions we see as primary care professionals. In many cases, taking months and sometimes years to properly diagnose, rheumatologic conditions can become frustrating for both the provider and the patient. There are a variety of new tests available to help us establish a diagnosis, as well as multiple new and effective treatment options. This episode is part of a seven-episode mini-series on Mayo Clinic Talks dedicated to rheumatologic health problems to aid in the recognition, diagnosis, and treatment for your patients. Please find these episodes where you listen to podcasts or on ce.mayo.edu. Polymyalgia rheumatica was first described in 1966 as a case report. It can have a wide range of symptoms and at times, can be challenging to diagnose. As with most rheumatologic disorders, the exact cause isn’t known. While there are no specific laboratory tests which establish a diagnosis, there are some that are very useful. One of the most important features of polymyalgia is its relationship with vasculitis and temporal arteritis. In this podcast, we’ll discuss polymyalgia rheumatica with rheumatologists Cornelia M. Weyand, M.D., Ph.D., and Kenneth J. Warrington, M.D., from the Mayo Clinic. We’ll review the typical presenting symptoms, how to establish a diagnosis, helpful laboratory tests and its management.
