formerly White House Office on Science and Technology Policy

We know that mobile phones hold tremendous potential to inform and empower individuals. Text4baby represents an extraordinary opportunity to expand the way we use our phones, to demonstrate the potential of mobile health technology, and make a real difference for moms and babies across the country.

My wife and I wanted to learn as much as possible about pregnancy and the first year of our baby’s life.

This is particularly important for moms who may not already have access to health information or care.
