Maximising Digital Opportunities in Perinatal Mental Health and Wellbeing

Did you know that 20% of women experience mental health problems during the perinatal period? Partners can also experience mental health problems during this time. Utilising digital solutions can support women, partners and families when experiencing perinatal mental health challenges.

The Health Innovation Network held Maximising Digital Opportunities in Perinatal Mental Health and Wellbeing webinar on Friday 14^th May 2021. The webinar hosted 170 stakeholders nationally, including colleagues from mental health and acute trusts, commissioning organisations, local authority, voluntary sector and the perinatal population.

Six evidence-based digital companies, who work in the perinatal area, presented their solution; highlighting how digital can support women, partners and families during the perinatal period. Each digital company presented alongside an NHS organisation who had implemented their solution, showcasing to the audience the positive impact it has had on the service itself and service users.

The digital companies who presented included:

• MUTU System
• Baby Buddy
• MUSH
• Silvercloud
• Peppy
• Ieso Health
