Asynchronous pediatric follow-up from home

The pattern often lives at home.

Now the doctor can see what the parent saw.

One eCheck captures symptoms, context, guided video, medication response, and follow-up — then organizes the episode into a web-based clinician report for the child’s own care team.

SEE IT. SHARE IT. SORT IT.
For children ages 0–5 with respiratory symptoms. Not for emergencies.

Preserve the episode — not just the memory of it.

The parent captures what is happening while the child is actually sick. MamaBear structures that information so the clinician can review it efficiently.

MamaBear organizes the episode into a structured report built for review.

“No! You have to listen to me! I know my children!”

“I made multiple ER visits with my son because I couldn’t prove to our pediatrician what I saw at home. MamaBear lets you capture symptoms in real time — and get treatment for your child sooner.”

A report built to be reviewed.

Not another unstructured five-minute phone video. MamaBear standardizes what is captured and puts the episode into context.

USDA NIFA SBIR • PHASE III READY

Built with federal R&D funding. Ready for real-world deployment.

MamaBear Health was developed through USDA NIFA SBIR Phase I and Phase II funding. Phase III is the commercialization and implementation stage — when technology that grew out of SBIR-funded R&D moves into purchasing, deployment, services, and follow-on work using non-SBIR funds.

Why this can matter to a buyer or implementation partner

Phase III gives federal buyers a recognized path to continue work that derives from, extends, or completes the original SBIR-funded technology. When the federal follow-on work qualifies, the government can use SBIR Phase III sole-source authority to contract with the original SBIR developer rather than starting a new technology competition.

Less reinventionMamaBear is already developed and in production; implementation dollars can go toward deployment and workflow fit rather than rebuilding the technology.
Continuity of technologyThe same small business that performed the SBIR R&D can carry the technology into implementation and follow-on work.
Federal acquisition pathwayQualifying federal follow-on work may be awarded as a Phase III sole-source contract to the original SBIR developer.
Useful for funded partnersHealth systems, rural programs, and other partners can point to a documented federal R&D lineage when evaluating MamaBear for implementation.

Phase III does not automatically override state, health-system, grant, or RHTP procurement requirements. Those rules still apply to the purchasing organization.

Better information from home. Better context for the care team.
