Past Tuesday Talks — How a Startup is Revolutionizing Maternal Health

Tuesday, August 8, 2023

Presented by Seema Kumar, CEO, Cure

Our most recent Tuesday Talk live on Cure’s LinkedIn Channel features a fire-side conversation with Adrianne Nickerson, CEO and co-founder of Oula Health, a company revolutionizing maternal health.

With infant and maternal mortality rates becoming an increasingly growing concern in the United States, Adrianne has taken charge by transforming the pregnancy experience for women in New York.

Oula Health has received an impressive funding of $23 million and is building clinics in collaboration with major medical centers and insurers. They provide live and app-based support systems, including prenatal care, nutritional guidance, mental health support, and assistance during childbirth.

No wonder Oula Health has been recognized as one of Fast Company’s “10 Most Innovative Healthcare Companies in 2023”.

Join us next week on Tuesday August 15 on LinkedIn for a fireside chat with Susan Rosenthal, SVP, Life Sciences & Healthcare at NYC EDC.
