NIH announces winners of prize competition to improve postpartum maternal health and health equity through innovative diagnostics
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced the winners of the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics Technology (RADx® Tech) for Maternal Health Challenge, an $8 million prize competition to encourage development of postpartum maternal health diagnostics for use in regions that have limited access to maternity care. The eight winning teams developed home-based and point-of-care diagnostics, wearables and other accessible technologies to improve postpartum health outcomes during the period when most maternal deaths occur—up to one year after delivery or the end of a pregnancy.
