So What’s Keeping Us From Preventing Them?

ignored or minimized symptoms
lack of advocates
delayed escalation of care


System Opportunity


A symptom log that can act as a data-backed advocate for mothers, helping healthcare providers recognize warning signs earlier and deliver timely care. 

Limitations of Blood Pressure Monitors


Blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day due to factors like stress, activity level, meals, sleep, and clinical settings. BP monitors will only capture in-the-moment readings, and may not reflect true average blood pressure, leading to under- or over-treatment.

Design Goals  

thrum


thrum is an AI-supported monitoring system composed of a rechargeable ultrasound patch, a charging case, and a companion app.

Sticker Mounting Station


To get the double-sided sticker to adhere properly to the patch, there are two extrusions in the middle cavity to help with alignment.

More Accurate Readings


The ultrasound patch measures the levels of glucose, lactate, alcohol, and caffeine in addition to blood pressure. thrum’s AI automatically adjusts the readings using the data collected.

Adaptive, Ambulatory BP Tracking



Medical providers can adjust tracking frequency based on a mother’s health condition, increasing it when risks are higher. 



Symptom Log and AI Assistant


The app lets mothers log symptoms to share with their OBGYN, while also contributing anonymized symptom profiles to a shared catalog for broader pattern recognition.
