Lydia Simmons made history with the creation of the first superfood postnatal supplement for mothers. Now she’s continuing her mission to redesign the global landscape of women’s health with Motherocity™, the world’s first postpartum tracking app and guide.
Developed by Simmons and top experts in health, science, and medical industries, Motherocity™ provides a life-saving solution to address the many needs of mothers after giving birth. The inclusive app is hailed as the key to reducing global postpartum maternal morbidity and inequities.
Its advanced technology notifies mothers about potentially alarming circumstances after birth, including postpartum depression (PPD). The conversation surrounding PPD has been a longstanding one among Simmons and her community. “There is something called pregnancy depression, and it can only turn into postpartum depression when you’re exacerbated with sleep regression and pure exhaustion,” Simmons shared. The new app helps new and expecting mothers prepare for their postnatal journeys with appropriate care, education, and action plans.
Inside the Motherocity™ App
Motherocity™ features a postpartum tracker, plan creator tool, recovery forecasts, and a maternal health directory to find trusted professionals for maternal care. The M.O.O. founder’s science-based approach uses a wealth of data and technology to provide a high level of advanced care and guidance for postpartum mothers. Its 52-week Postpartum Guide offers recovery, monitoring, health insights, and new parent support. With additional guides and planners, mothers have the ability to design a personalized, well-informed experience for effective recovery.
Addressing controversial legal matters like Roe v. Wade, Motherocity™ prioritizes the privacy and security of personal health information (PHI) to maintain its dedication to being a trusted resource. The app features a private mode to remove personal information and the ability to trace data.
Seeing the progress in her fight for maternal health equity, Simmons stated, “We’re starting to change, demand more, educate more, and expect more. I’m starting to feel and see the shift of moms in this community of postpartum people who are having better experiences.”
