Global health service company Cigna has launched the new Cigna Healthy Pregnancy app to better connect individual customers to Cigna´s suite of health benefits including the Cigna Healthy Pregnancies, Healthy Babies maternity health engagement program, the company said.
The Cigna Healthy Pregnancies, Healthy Babies program has shown to positively impact health outcomes for pregnant women and their babies.
In 2016, 53 percent of eligible Cigna participants enrolled during their first trimester, with only 10 percent of these women experiencing preterm deliveries. In addition, there was a 79 percent full-term pregnancy rate among women identified to be at-risk for preterm delivery. Improving the likelihood of full-term pregnancies also improves affordability, with more than USD 2,000 in average savings per participant and nearly USD 43,000 saved per participant identified as at-risk for preterm delivery.
App developer Wildflower Health reports that more than 66 percent of app users registered during their first trimester, and stayed engaged in the app by regularly accessing content within the app. This includes about 60 percent of users taking the app´s pregnancy health assessment survey, which identifies potential high-risk pregnancies and connects them to relevant resources2.
