The Tech to Save Moms Act aims to improve maternal health outcomes by expanding the use of technology in pregnancy care and postpartum services. The bill establishes two major grant programs: one providing up to $6 million annually through 2030 to support technology-enabled training and learning models for maternal health providers in underserved areas, and another providing up to $6 million annually through 2030 to promote digital tools that reduce maternal health disparities, particularly for racial and ethnic minorities. The legislation also authorizes Medicaid to cover telehealth services for pregnancy monitoring and complications for up to one year postpartum, effective one year after enactment, and requires the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to study how technology and patient monitoring devices affect racial biases in maternal care, with results due within two years. The bill prioritizes funding for health professional shortage areas, rural communities, and populations experiencing high maternal mortality and health disparities.
