The Pregnancy & Health Profile: A Risk Assessment & Screening Tool

Welcome to the Pregnancy & Health Profile!

This new, easy-to-use, tablet-based tool helps prenatal providers and patients identify and discuss risk based on family history and make shared, informed decisions about prenatal testing and screening options.

The tool has been tested in diverse clinical settings with more than 75 providers and over 600 satisfied patients.
The Pregnancy & Health Profile was designed to replace all the paper forms that a woman must normally fill out at her prenatal provider’s office, streamlining the patient intake process while providing patient education and clinical decision support.

• Patients use a tablet-PC to fill out the Pregnancy and Family History Questionnaire, a comprehensive, patient-friendly questionnaire that collects intake information.  


• A woman enters personal and family history information for herself and father of the baby, as well as demographics and lifestyle factors that impact prenatal health. 


• Evidence-based algorithms then assess the patient’s risk and provide point-of-care guidance to the clinician. 


• The Pregnancy Health Profile report is automatically generated, including a three-generation pedigree.


• During the visit, providers can review, modify, and document new patient risk factors.
