Tech to Save Moms Act
The Tech to Save Moms Act expands access to telehealth for pregnant and postpartum individuals by allowing remote monitoring of pregnancy complications through federal health programs. It creates two new grant programs: one to train healthcare providers on maternal health using digital tools (including bias training and remote monitoring), and another to fund digital tools that reduce maternal health disparities in high-risk areas like rural communities, underserved populations, and communities with elevated maternal mortality rates. The grants specifically target providers serving American Indian and Alaska Native communities, medically underserved areas, and populations experiencing racial/ethnic health disparities. The bill also mandates a study on technology bias in maternal care, with a report to Congress within 24 months.
