Example--At-risk pregnant women in underserved communities often receive less than the recommended level of prenatal care, which can lead to adverse outcomes for their babies. The Center for Connected Health at Partners HealthCare uses mobile health programs to provide prenatal and post-partum support to help young women receiving care through community health centers have healthier pregnancies. Twenty-five young women, age 22 on average, receiving care at the Lynn Community Health Center, one of the most medically underserved communities in Massachusetts, received between one and four informational and supportive text messages each week. These women received the recommended level of prenatal care 9% more than similar pregnant women receiving care at the clinic who did not participate in the text message program. Due to this program’s success, the Center is expanding the text messaging program for pregnancy and prenatal care, chronic disease management, and health and wellness programs.
