Bio

I'm a registered midwife with 10 years of experience providing primary maternity and newborn care. For me, maternal health is much more than a career, it’s a passion and a calling that she has dedicated herself to. She has taken a leave from clinical practice to found Womb & Wellness, a network that addresses the gaps in maternity care by helping clients connect with complementary services, resources and support. More recently, I've launched Ancestral Hands Midwives, a non profit organization with a mission to improve the outcomes and experiences of Black people during pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. By focusing on cultural competency, education, access and empowerment, Ancestral Hands Midwives aims to make a positive impact on Black maternal health in Ontario.

AHM Care Connect AI Triage System

Ancestral Hands Midwives (AHM) aims to enhance patient care and safety by developing AHM Care Connect, an AI-driven triage system. The primary goal is to provide 24/7 access to midwifery support, guiding clients on whether to seek urgent care or wait to contact their provider. This system is designed to improve patient safety, reduce unnecessary ER visits, and enhance overall care satisfaction. The project will involve creating a user-friendly interface, integrating AI algorithms for accurate triage, and ensuring data privacy and security. The learners will apply their classroom knowledge in AI, healthcare systems, and user experience design to develop a functional prototype.
