Innovative Approaches to Maternal Health
A unique app called Earth has been developed to address the healthcare needs of Black and Brown women, allowing them to share and access reviews of OBGYNs and birthing hospitals. This platform seeks to increase transparency and community accountability within healthcare. By crowd-sourcing feedback, it generates insights that can help improve patient experiences and outcomes, especially in the context of the Black maternal mortality crisis.
