Mary Hardy, Chief Commercial Officer at SimpliFed, is helping reshape maternal health care with a virtual platform that supports families before birth and well beyond the baby’s first milestones. By combining lactation guidance, postpartum care, maternal mental health screening, and remote monitoring, SimpliFed is setting a new standard for holistic, accessible maternal care. 

In this episode of Fractals: Life Science Conversations, Mary joins host Colin Miller to explore:

- How SimpliFed’s virtual care model bridges gaps in maternal health, particularly in underserved areas and for mobile families.
- The integration of prenatal planning, postpartum support, and behavioral health referrals to improve both outcomes and patient experience.
- Leveraging technology and human relationships together to deliver personalized care at scale.
- Insights from Mary’s journey in healthcare, and her vision for embedding community and connection into maternal care.
