Birth Event Documentation & Follow-Up

A secure web app that helps postpartum parents document adverse birth events (timeline, symptoms, who said what, medications, photos of discharge paperwork), generate a structured report, and manage follow-up tasks (records requests, provider questions, complaint pathways, and therapy referrals). It includes templated question lists for anesthesiology/OB follow-ups and a checklist-driven recovery tracker to reduce uncertainty and missed steps.

Target customer

Postpartum parents who experienced traumatic birth events (especially surgical/anesthesia complications) and need organized documentation and coordinated follow-up; secondary customers include doulas/postpartum support organizations offering it as a member benefit.

Problem-solution fit

After a traumatic delivery, families are overwhelmed and often can’t reconstruct details needed for medical follow-up, hospital review, insurance/records requests, or therapy intake. This product turns an emotional, chaotic experience into a structured, time-stamped packet and an actionable plan, reducing cognitive load and improving the quality of follow-up conversations and referrals.
