Tech to Save Moms Act

Key Points

• This bill creates new grant programs to help doctors and nurses use technology to care for pregnant women and new mothers. It focuses on areas where it is hard to find a doctor, such as rural towns and Tribal lands.
• The plan allows for more telehealth services, like video check-ups and remote monitoring, for up to one year after a person gives birth. This helps catch health problems early, even if a patient cannot easily travel to a clinic.
• Health care workers would receive special training on how to use these digital tools. The training also covers important topics like mental health, substance use, and how to treat all patients fairly regardless of their race.
• The government would spend $12 million each year from 2027 to 2031 to fund these programs. This money will pay for things like high-speed internet and the software needed to connect local doctors with specialists.
• Experts will also study how new technologies like artificial intelligence might have hidden biases. They want to make sure that medical devices, like the ones that measure oxygen in the blood, work correctly for everyone.
