Meet Ayana
AI-powered maternal health intelligence that helps Black women track their health, prepare for clinical encounters, and advocate for the care they deserve.
Why Ayana Exists
Black women are 2.6 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women.
Source: CDC Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System
An estimated 60% of pregnancy-related deaths are preventable.
Source: CDC Maternal Mortality Review Committees
84% of pregnancy-related deaths among Black women involve systemic failures: missed or delayed diagnoses, lack of coordinated care, or inadequate treatment.

These numbers are not about biology. They reflect a healthcare system where Black women's pain is undertreated, their symptoms are dismissed, and their lives are deprioritized. Ayana is a technology response to a systemic failure.
