The app includes prenatal birthing and postpartum pediatric reviews by black and brown women for black and brown women. The name is “Irth” because it’s “birth without the bias.” Anything that can be done to ensure all voices are heard in the healthcare process deserves more attention. The app is available on Apple and Google Play. Learn more here: Irth.
