Getting Started With Connected MOM
Congratulations! Your Ochsner Health team is excited about the upcoming addition to your family and is ready to support you through Connected MOM. Whether you’re a new mom or welcoming another child, you can count on Connected MOM to provide you with helpful tools and clinical support during your pregnancy. Being a mom takes a village, and we can help you stay on top of your blood pressure readings for one less thing on your plate as you prepare to give birth.
How to Participate
With your OB team, you can easily make your time in the Connected MOM program a success. You’re the key player, but we will be there for you every step of the way. Here are two simple ways for you to benefit most from the program:
Take your blood pressure two to three times each week.
Blood pressure is a great indicator of prenatal health. By sending your blood pressure readings to your OB and their team two to three times per week, they will have the data they need to understand your pregnancy and catch potential issues sooner.
Download the Ochsner Digital Medicine app.
You’ll use the Ochsner Digital Medicine app with your blood pressure cuff to seamlessly submit readings to your OB and their team. Utilize MyOchsner (your online patient portal) to communicate with your OB team and receive important information during and after your pregnancy.
