Delivering Gold Standard Maternity Care with HealthTech
Topic : Inequalities, Innovation, News and Press Type : Report
Women’s health remains a key focus for ABHI, and following our recent Summit and report, we are continuing to examine areas where innovation can deliver tangible improvements in outcomes and experiences.
ABHI is pleased to publish its latest paper, Delivering Gold Standard Maternity Care with HealthTech, which explores how medical devices, diagnostics and digital health technologies can support safer, more effective and more personalised maternity care.
Despite considerable advances in healthcare, many aspects of maternity care have changed little over time. With the quality and safety of services under renewed scrutiny, HealthTech has an important role to play in supporting better outcomes for women, babies and their families.
The paper sets out seven recommendations across three core themes:
Personal experience
Supporting clearer care pathways, better access to information and more personalised, community-based maternity care.
Enhanced safety
Embedding technologies that can help detect complications earlier, improve safety during birth and strengthen early diagnosis.
Alignment and collaboration
Improving data, interoperability and adoption pathways, while strengthening collaboration between industry, the NHS, Government and academia.
Together, these recommendations provide a practical framework for how HealthTech can help address some of the most pressing challenges facing maternity services today. The report also showcases examples of technologies already improving maternity care, from remote monitoring and home testing, to genomics, digital maternity systems, safety-focused devices and virtual training platforms.
We encourage members and stakeholders to read the report and consider how HealthTech can support the delivery of safer, more effective and kinder maternity care.
