Antenatal and postnatal depression and its associated anxieties are a huge issue for expectant and new mums across Britain.<\/p>\n

However, maternal mental health – and conversations around it – are yet to fully become a part of mainstream society.<\/p>\n

For instance, did you know that, in the UK, perinatal mental health problems affect between 10% to 20% of women during pregnancy and the first year after having a baby?<\/p>\n

Or, did you know that 23% of British women who died between six weeks and one year after pregnancy died from mental-health causes, with 14% of this figure dying by suicide?<\/p>\n

For Belfast-based Nuala Murphy, a new mother herself, these frightening statistics meant that something had to be done to help others who would otherwise have nowhere to go.<\/p>\n

So, six months ago Murphy launched Moment Health and has made it her mission to put maternal health in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Developed with clinicians and healthcare professionals, Moment Health is the only app of its kind focused on early-intervention in pregnancy. Its aim is to help solve many of the postnatal depression problems which mums and mums-to-be suffer.<\/p>\n

Backed by £250,000 from Pentech Ventures and TechStart NI, the app has already had some traction:<\/p>\n

In its first week of going live, Moment Health became the number one ranked UK health and fitness app on the App Store – a ranking which Murphy regards as “bittersweet as it underpins the scale of the problem”.<\/p>\n

The app is also in a clinical trial with Ulster University with the early research “showing significant results”. However, Murphy has much bigger ambitions for what Moment Health can achieve.<\/p>\n

She tells us that her long-term goal for the business is “to make a dent in the statistics, understand the illness further, and help every mum, dad or partner to sustain good mental health on their parenting journey. Successful or not.”<\/p>\n

With research that 80-90% of prenatal and postnatal depression sufferers fully recover with early intervention, the potential for Moment Health is undeniable.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
