In the United States, more than 300,000 pregnant women are diagnosed with gestational diabetes, or GDM, each year. That’s one out of every seven pregnancies. 

Though GDM has become an increasingly common issue, the need for adequate management of the condition has remained unmet. Patients typically have to use outdated data collection methods like paper logging. If patients want a more advanced approach, they have the limited options of either a standard pregnancy app, or an app for diabetic care not specific to pregnancy. 

That’s where LilyLink comes in. 

Created with expert advisors in maternal-fetal medicine, our end-to-end solution closes the gaps in technology and care that have plagued patients and providers for far too long. 

Our Story

LilyLink came to be as the result of the separate lived experiences of our founders, Tyler Rice and Madison Stanford. After dealing with the reality of limited GDM care options first-hand, the founding duo began their mission to create a solution that would transform the care experience from both the provider and patient perspective – bringing peace of mind to patients and allowing providers to offer the most informed care approach possible. 

The Solution

LilyLink partners with clinics directly to enhance GDM care. We equip OBGYN providers with the tools they need to effectively and efficiently manage the back-end of care while also integrating patients into their own care management experience, empowering them to take charge of their care and ensuring they have the full picture of how GDM is impacting them and their babies. 

Our intuitive patient mobile app automates postprandial logging and is compatible with leading glucose monitoring devices. An EHR-integrated provider portal enables synchronous, actionable data and remote patient monitoring to promote better care, outcomes, and reimbursements.

To ensure success for both practices and their patients, a virtual team of GDM-trained dietitians and certified diabetes educators are there to offer support and counseling as needed.

The Path Forward

The stress and anxiety of a high-risk pregnancy can feel overwhelming for patients diagnosed with GDM. Gestational diabetes management requires increased screening, monitoring, and follow-up appointments to maintain optimal blood glucose levels and reduce the potential for complications. What should be a happy, exciting time is often overtaken by doctor visits and round-the-clock record keeping of blood glucose levels, food intake, exercise, and meds. 

We are thrilled to officially launch our solution and begin partnering with providers to make GDM pregnancies a more positive experience by eliminating unnecessary, time-consuming processes and stressors. 

Our mission is simple: elevate maternity care through digital technology and data analytics that leads to safer, healthier pregnancies and newborns. We know early, comprehensive prenatal care for gestational diabetes can reduce risks and lead to better outcomes.
