Ever since Ovia Health launched in 2012, our mission to improve the world for women and families has been central to everything we do. As a company built on empirical evidence and committed to the rigor of the scientific process, we\u2019ve built partnerships with leading research institutions in order to tackle some of healthcare\u2019s most complex challenges. Our work has allowed us to build programs with demonstrated clinical efficacy and also contribute to research that informs healthcare policy and elevates the standard of care for millions of families. A scientific approach is the key to creating effective and impactful products, programs, and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ovia Health’s Reach & Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It has always been our intention to do our part to advance the fields of women\u2019s and family health. By earning the trust of over 15 million families and demonstrating unparalleled levels of engagement, Ovia Health has become a premiere research partner with one of the largest anonymized datasets on women\u2019s health in the world \u2014 several billion data points available to answer the most pressing questions. Recognizing the limitations of traditional research methods, including cite-based studies, sample size limitations, and exorbitant cost, we knew our scale could meaningfully contribute to scientific research.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with members to improve care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are incredibly honored to have a highly engaged and diverse member base of families who trust us to guide them on their journeys. In turn, we trust and depend on our community to inform what we do, including product development, clinical research, and institutional partnerships, because we recognize that in order for healthcare to improve, the patient must be at the center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we created our program to reduce the incidence of preeclampsia, a dangerous and sometimes deadly condition characterized by high blood pressure in pregnancy, we knew we needed to focus on barriers to treatment identified by patients themselves. In order to increase the utilization of low-dose aspirin, a medication that has been shown to significantly reduce the likelihood of developing preeclampsia among those at risk, we leaned on our community, and we learned a lot. We published and presented our findings at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists annual conference and used the results to design our Preeclampsia Prevention and Management programming. The program focuses on improving education and trust in the medication, enhancing patient-provider communication, and overall accessibility and adherence \u2014 resulting in an 18% reduction in cases of preeclampsia. This is just one example of the ways our community and our commitment to science have allowed us to create a solution that is fundamentally changing the way high-risk conditions are managed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with our nearly 40 academic research partners, we have been able to address the most pressing issues facing women\u2019s and family health today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
