“We give support, reception, and respect for women’s decisions. Our app is a mirror of everything we believe and value, bringing an experience covered in transparency, autonomy, and simplicity. The woman is in control of everything: her schedule, appointments, choices, and her journey, always counting, of course, on our support and methodology”, says Flavia Deutsch Gotfryd, co-founder of Theia alongside Paula Crespi.
Among the features of the app of Theia is the possibility of accessing the entire program for monitoring week by week, the stages of pregnancy, and the evolution of the baby’s size.
Digital, but human
Interestingly, Theia emphasizes that the app does not eliminate the need for face-to-face care. Thus, the service provided in the app is human and “free from robots”.
The expectant is seen and heard by a team of health specialists. This journey permeates the online and offline world, and the app is an integrative part of our solution. We see that the combination of these two worlds makes a big difference for the women we care for.
