Postpartum Support International (PSI) launched the Connect by PSI app to provide support and resources to women with perinatal mental health disorders (PMHD). The app offers access to a helpline, crisis assistance, a community of patients and professionals, and a library of resources in English and Spanish. Research shows that one in five women and one in ten men experience anxiety or depression during the perinatal period, with women of color at higher risk. Other companies focusing on maternal digital health solutions include Wildflower Health and Maven Clinic, which have secured funding and expanded their services. PSI and UMass Chan Medical School are conducting a perinatal mental health-equity study to provide better support for individuals navigating mental health challenges during pregnancy, postpartum, and loss.
