Meeno — The AI That Talks Back
Parenthood can be beautiful — but it’s also overwhelming. Between pregnancy, sleepless nights, and all the changes that come with becoming a parent, mental health often gets pushed aside. That’s where Mavida Health comes in.
What is Mavida Health?
Mavida Health is a new app designed to support mental wellness through every stage of parenthood — from pregnancy to postpartum and beyond. Think of it as a digital companion that’s always in your pocket.
Why It Matters
Dr. Sarah Oreck and Emma Sugerman, the founders of Mavida, saw a huge gap: moms weren’t getting enough mental health support, especially after giving birth. They decided to change that by creating a platform that combines:
- Personalized therapy sessions
- Medication management (when needed)
- Helpful resources based on your stage of parenthood
- A supportive community that’s moderated and safe
The Experience
The app is designed to feel easy, calming, and intuitive — no confusing menus, just simple access to care and support. Whether you’re looking for professional help or just a community that gets it, Mavida is built to make parenthood a little less stressful.
How does Mavida Health work?
Mavida’s experience kicks-off with a personalized questionnaire, accessible through their website. This ensures a smooth patient intake and onboarding. Click here to go to the Mavida webpage.
Patients’ responses will generate a personalized experience for each user, with tailored content and care based on their individual situation, health, and context.
Clinical Care
The telemedicine feature allows patients to schedule, manage, and carry out individual, couples & group therapy sessions with mental health experts. Through the app, clinicians can also prescribe medications.
Live Encounters
Mavida members can conduct treatment sessions with certified professionals through the app thanks to a Zoom integration.
Educational Content & Resources
The app includes an educational library of learnings from the team’s clinicians & researchers, including guided meditations, live Q&As with specialists, skill-building activities, and support on various parenting issues.
Curated community forum moderated by experts
The app offers discussion forums moderated by experts, where users can connect with other parents with similar challenges or interests.
Mavida Chat Support
Users can also hold 1-on-1 chats with Mavida’s clinical team to ask questions and receive guidance.
Designed for Women in Every Stage of Motherhood
Research shows that around 8–11% of pregnant women experience moderate to severe depression or anxiety during pregnancy. After giving birth, an estimated 6–13% of new mothers face some level of postpartum depression.
These experiences can look very different from person to person — common symptoms include persistent sadness, irritability, fear, guilt, trouble sleeping or eating, low energy, or difficulty bonding with the baby. Many also describe feeling overwhelmed or unable to make everyday decisions.
Mavida Health is built to support women through each phase of this journey — from pregnancy to postpartum — helping them recognize, understand, and manage emotional challenges with care, community, and clinical guidance.
In short: Mavida Health is here to remind new parents that your mental health matters too.
