About us

Pomelo Care is a multi‑disciplinary team of clinicians, engineers and problem solvers who are passionate about improving care for moms and babies.

Our technology‑driven care platform enables us to engage patients early, conduct individualized risk assessments for poor pregnancy outcomes, and deliver coordinated, personalized virtual care throughout pregnancy, NICU stays, and the first postpartum year. We measure ourselves by reductions in preterm births, NICU admissions, c‑sections and maternal mortality; we improve outcomes and reduce healthcare spend.
