🌟JCHI is proud to support the MoM-Health project at @UCSanDiego through our P10000 initiative! This research uses innovative biological measures to tackle high blood pressure during and after pregnancy. As part of @NIH's MOHD Consortium, we're uncovering critical links between hypertensive disorders and postpartum health. Participants use at-home blood pressure cuffs synced with EMRs to monitor risks. Together, we aim to predict #cardiovascular disease and improve #maternal health outcomes!
