Ochsner Connected MOM: A Digital Medicine Program
Connected MOM is a program for expecting mothers that stands for Connected Maternity Online Monitoring.
We provide moms-to-be with a wireless blood pressure cuff to submit readings to their Ochsner Health OB-GYN team from home. Through the program, you’ll keep track of your blood pressure readings and stay connected to your team between visits. Connected MOM helps to ensure your readings stay within healthy levels, and if not, catch potential issues sooner.

Connected MOM Results
Higher likelihood of postpartum blood pressure check
In an American Medical Association study, Connected MOM participants were twice as likely to complete a postpartum blood pressure check as women in traditional care. Patients take readings from the comfort of home after giving birth, removing the need to go to the doctor’s office for a blood pressure check. Connected MOM also identifies "masked high blood pressure” – where patients have high blood pressure at home but normal readings in a clinic setting.
