ABOUT PREECLAMPSIA

Preeclampsia is a serious pregnancy-specific disease that affects up to 8% of soon to be mothers. It is a condition that causes many dangerous complications, and it sadly remains one of the top causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide [1]. Unfortunately, the rate of preeclampsia in the US is also increasing over time [11].

If detected early, the condition can be properly monitored and managed to prevent serious health complications. Monitoring blood pressure and protein in urine is a key component for detecting whether or not a pregnant woman has preeclampsia [2]. Prekitsia can track their blood pressure and protein levels in urine in a simple, smart and systematic way.
