CLINICIAN QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

  • Connura is a Pregnancy-Specific Design:

    • Trimester-appropriate reference ranges (not generic adult thresholds)

    • Guidance for pregnancy physiology (positioning matters more, compression effects, gestational changes)

    • Postpartum continuity (when most apps stop, risk continues)

    Clinical Partnership Model:

    • You establish thresholds and action plans.

    • Patient shares structured PDF reports, not raw data streams.

    • Supports your decision-making rather than bypassing it

    Evidence-Based Foundation:

    • Built on the research from pregnancy/postpartum BP monitoring trials

    • Follows ACOG measurement guidelines

    • Peer-reviewed outcomes showing safety and utility

    Generic BP health apps treat pregnancy as another demographic.

    Connura is designed to help manage hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

  • Yes - Connura is designed to reinforce your clinical decisions, not replace them.

    Patients track BP using their own BP monitor with targets you help them set — and Connura reinforces proper technique at every reading.

    You receive the data as a formatted PDF report at appointments, giving you consistent trend data to inform your judgement.

    Connura doesn't interpret results or make recommendations to your patient.

    Connura helps to ensure the readings you're reviewing are taken correctly, in context, and on a regular schedule.

  • No - You remain the clinical decision-maker reviewing data she brings to appointments - the same workflow as if she kept a paper log.

    Connura doesn't send real-time alerts that require an immediate response or create continuous monitoring obligations.

    Research suggests structured home BP may reduce urgent visits and hospitalizations by improving early detection and patient technique.

  • Follow standard BP monitoring protocols:

    1. Verify the at-home BP monitor is pregnancy-validated (not all devices are)

    2. Have your patient bring their BP monitor to the office for a calibration check

    3. Observe technique - positioning and cuff placement errors are common

    4. Compare home readings to your baseline over several appointments

    5. Adjust expectations or thresholds based on consistent variance

    Connura helps to reinforces proper technique, but you can recalibrate clinical interpretation based on your assessment.

  • Connura provides technique guidance at the point of measurement:

    • Positioning reminders,

    • Timing protocols,

    • Trimester-specific context.

    However, initial training from you or your staff remains essential. Have your patient demonstrate technique at the first visit, bring her at-home BP monitor for calibration, and review her Connura PDF reports to spot obvious technique issues.

  • That's your clinical judgment.

    Current evidence shows that at-home BP monitoring is safe in pregnancy and may improve outcomes when integrated into structured care.

    Many physicians mention it as an option for:

    • Patients with chronic hypertension or previous preeclampsia

    • High-risk patients who benefit from more frequent monitoring

    • Patients expressing anxiety about missing warning signs between visits

    • Postpartum monitoring to improve follow-up completion

    Consider it as an optional tool , not a requirement for all patients.

  • Not at this time.

    Patients share PDF reports with you directly via appointment, patient portal, or email. This keeps implementation simple and avoids workflow disruption while you evaluate whether home BP monitoring benefits your patient population.

    EMR integration and provider-facing dashboards are planned for future releases, once patient adoption is established.

  • Connura provides escalation guidance based on thresholds you established.

    For severe readings (≥160/110) or concerning symptoms that you can help establish in the App’s settings, and how to direct your patient to contact your practice. She can store in the aoo your clinic's contact information to help simply sharing of important information.

    For high readings (>140/90), the app recommends remeasuring, contacting the clinic on the next business day, or sending a report for review.

    NOTE - you define the “Severe” and” High” BP thresholds in the Connura app and work with your patient to personalize her app’s settings.

    The app is designed to follow your judgement and support your clinical protocols.
