Mission

Connexus is a mobile health network that promotes reproductive health equity among patients with limited access, use, or quality of reproductive health care due to challenges with rare conditions, stigma, and issues related to race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, location, gender, disability, and sexual orientation. We target those who might be isolated and therefore lack access to personalized care, such as teen moms, low-income earners, the LGBTQ community, as well as those with complex and rare pregnancy conditions. 

Connexus delivers health information targeted to a diverse range of women to answer their reproductive health questions and connect them with others like them to improve their health. Users can learn about their rights and are provided with resources to assist them with their health and their lives. This app was developed to be as inclusive as possible so that no person should ever have to feel isolated when faced with reproductive health challenges. We are targeting women not traditionally covered in mainstream pregnancy apps.

Connexus encompasses all stages of reproductive health from contraception, pregnancy, breastfeeding and early child-rearing. Users can access high-quality educational content, find care near them, and can share their experiences and provide support to each other through forum-based discussions that links users with others like them. Teen moms can find support from others who have similar experiences. LGBTQ populations can connect with each other so they feel less isolated. Women with complex conditions such as placenta accreta can connect with each other to provide support and hope. This type of group support can improve well-being and health outcomes.
