Your mission
mama health is a real-world evidence platform - using AI and data mining technology to systematically map the end-to-end experience of chronic patients. Today, no physician, researcher, pharmaceutical company or government can accurately monitor what happens to patients along their care path. They rely on theoretical protocols (what should happen) but they do not have tools to monitor the reality (what actually happens). We bridge this gap, providing a clear view into the actual journey of chronic patients and ultimately improve their lives.
