Navigating Care

  • Project Year: 2025-26

  • Industry/Track: Health + Innovation

Navigating Care is a student-led project aimed at reducing anxiety and improving shared decision-making for first-time pregnant women in the United States. Through extensive user research and interviews, the team identified that mothers consistently feel overwhelmed, unheard, and unprepared during prenatal appointments – often forgetting questions and lacking a unified system to track their concerns. The solution is a voice-first Al companion that allows mothers to capture questions and symptoms hands-free as they arise, automatically organizing them before appointments and keeping medical providers and partners informed. Unlike existing pregnancy apps that focus on passive content delivery or manual tracking dashboards, Navigating Care prioritizes emotional warmth, frictionless interaction, and precision medicine to help mothers feel like active participants in their own!
