Introducing Trellis Health: AI-Powered Pregnancy and Postpartum Health Platform Creates Decadent Healthcare Experience For Women
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Trellis Health, a digital health platform designed to empower women with personalized, proactive care, today launches its new platform on iOS. Trellis gives women and families the richest, most comprehensive picture of their health - an unprecedented foundation to build true preventive, proactive care. This platform launches Trellis Health's first steps in its mission to build generational health. 6.75 million people turn to Google with health questions. Meanwhile, ChatGPT fields health-related questions for a person about once every 10 days on average - and for pregnant women, that number spikes to 3 times a day. The burden of family health management only amplifies with caregiving for young children and the system is harder to navigate and access than ever. With many at-home consumer health tools, the lingering question is often 'what now?' or 'what does it mean?' and most digital telehealth solutions are lacking critical, nuanced context on the patients they see. Even amidst a wave of innovation in diagnostics, wearables, AI, and personalized medicine, one thing remains missing: a tool that makes health information usable, connected, actionable, private, and truly personalized, especially for women and families navigating critical life stages. Trellis Health is solving this gap by launching the first family-based, centralized, AI-powered health operating system that marries the human side of care with the richest personal health data for patient decision support and actionable insights where it's needed most. By combining your own health history with context-aware clinical care and tailored support for interactions with the healthcare system, or at home, Trellis makes care feel seamless, and lifetime health feel proactive. Unlike other platforms that treat health data as a commodity, Trellis keeps all data securely within its system and within individual family accounts, creating a private, personal AI-powered product designed to deliver the smartest, safest guidance for you and your family. What was once impossible, is now a table stakes requirement in the healthcare system today to create a system that's not just a little 'better' - but re-imagined: a complete story of your health journey, connected to family history and context, delivered securely on-device. Personalized Baselines and Benchmarks: Users can understand their own personalized, unique baselines based on their actual health history versus a standard range, empowering women to spot meaningful changes early, track whole body postpartum recovery back to their own baseline levels, and have deeply informed conversations with their doctors to create better outcomes through this, and every, stage of life. Collaborative Care Platform: Automated health summaries, personalized proactive questions for doctor's appointments, and effortless two-tap sharing of health snapshots ensure clearer, more effective communication with any provider, even in short 8 minute visits. 18/7 Midwife Support: Members can connect directly with a Certified Nurse Midwife for those 'what if?' or 'is this normal?' moments throughout pregnancy, postpartum and infant care, receiving trusted, compassionate support tailored to their health needs late at night, or between appointments. Whole-Health Postpartum Recovery: Postpartum care is one of the most undersupported areas of women's health and can have profound and compounding affects on lifetime health and longevity. The first 40 days postpartum impacts health and wellbeing for the next 40 years of life. Trellis is redefining the standard of care to add decades of healthy life with the only complete health platform for postpartum recovery, including personalized in-app telehealth support, education, and the first-ever of its kind, comprehensive women's health at-home postpartum lab testing that integrates into current standard of care visit schedules, designed to power a 'Bounce Forward,' not a bounce back. 'At Trellis, we're not just reimagining healthcare for women, we're creating a new standard of how health data and AI technology should be used,' says Dr Estelle Giraud, PhD CEO and Co-Founder of Trellis Health. 'In order to build healthier generations, we must champion the right to access, understand, and act on your health without compromise. Trellis is raising the bar on healthcare —with trust, ethics, and humanity at our core.' Where most pregnancy and postpartum platforms focus on the fetus or the best products or gear, Trellis simplifies managing health across generations. With infant accounts, parents can also seamlessly organize their children's immunization records, pediatric summaries, allergy information, and more. Not only does this lighten the mental load for parents, but it also builds a complete health blueprint that their children can carry for a lifetime, setting the foundation for generational health. Trellis launches its platform with partnerships around key pillars of women's postpartum health and recovery that are often overlooked and underserved in the current system. Beginning with nationwide lactation support through Milkwise, to provide digital, on-demand, lactation consulting and education pre and post birth, and digital, on-demand mental health support with Mavida, a specialized care provider for maternal mental health. Trellis will continue to expand select partnerships around core pillars of health in future. Built to HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA standards, and with privacy-by-design architecture, Trellis utilizes patent-pending, privacy-preserving algorithms, advanced identity verification, and banking-grade encryption to ensure that every member's health data is safeguarded throughout every interaction. Trellis is available on iOS across all 50 states in the U.S. and is just $8 per month (billed annually at $96 per year). This launch comes on the heels of the company's extensive medical advisory board appointments, $1.8M pre-seed funding announcement, and 24 months in private alpha and beta developing health IT software and architecture to address the complexity of this problem space. To learn more or sign up for membership, visit About Trellis Health Trellis Health is pioneering personalized, proactive care for individuals and families, starting with pregnancy and postpartum. Designed by scientists, technologists, and parents in collaboration with leading clinicians, Trellis bridges critical gaps in women's healthcare with intuitive tools that simplify health management over time. Through personalized recommendations, tailored insights, and seamless tracking, Trellis enables women to make informed decisions about their health - without carrying the mental load of connecting the dots.

(Trellis Health Image) Trellis Health released its iOS app on Tuesday as the Seattle-based health tech startup aims to use AI and personalized data to improve healthcare for women. Founded in 2022, Trellis' software provides recommendations, insights, and tracking based on personal medical records and guidance from doctors and maternity specialists. It is focusing on pregnancy and postpartum care. Trellis CEO and co-founder Estelle Giraud is a scientist and a former senior manager at biotech giant Illumina. She co-founded Trellis with Ryan Nabat, a former engineer at BlueOwl, Spect, and Virta Health. The company is aiming to address what it describes as 'glaring gaps in women's health' and replace late-night Google searches. 'We're building the foundation for generational, proactive consumer health with a private and secure digital health platform that uses AI to translate years of your health context into actionable, intelligent insights paired with innovative care solutions,' Giraud said in a statement last month. The company does not take insurance and charges an annual subscription fee of $96. It is partnering with Milkwise to provide digital lactation consulting, and Mavida for mental health support.

Google execs celebrate after tech giant achieves company-first milestone using AI: 'Game-changer'
Google's sustainability reporting team is using artificial intelligence to streamline information aggregation and make reporting more efficient. Trellis recently wrote about the company's 2024 sustainability report, which was the first one to be produced and published with AI. The team used Google's proprietary AI tools, Gemini and NotebookLM, though artificial intelligence competitors offer similar capabilities. Luke Elder, the lead for sustainability reporting, told Trellis that the technology unlocked new efficiencies for the team, making it a total "game-changer." The report compiles sources ranging from academic-style papers to voluntary claims, fact-checking and then combining them into an easy-to-read document. With hundreds of people contributing information to the report, using AI to sift through the text for reliable material was an enormous timesaver. Similarly, using Gemini to translate technical documents into easier-to-read reports was massively helpful for Elder and his team. "We will throw that into Gemini and ask it to summarize it for an annual voluntary environmental disclosure with the tone of Google's environmental reporting," Elder said. The team is able to customize the tone, grammar, punctuation, and more in order to create a consistent voice. The report was also published in two versions, one of which comes with an AI chatbot that users can query to search for specific questions. Trellis praised this version, noting that the bot didn't hesitate to highlight sustainability benchmarks where Google is falling short of goals. The use of AI, specifically generative AI, has been controversial among environmental advocates because of the massive amount of resources, including energy and water, it demands. But several implementations of AI, such as this one, look to provide net sustainability benefits — benefiting both the humans involved and the environment alike. Similarly, AI has been used to develop agricultural models, wildlife conservation monitoring programs, and more. Do you think electric vehicles are efficient enough to replace gas cars?

‘Love Costa Mesa' seeking helpers with heart for annual day of community service
When the citywide day of community service Love Costa Mesa first launched in 2018, hundreds of volunteers rolled up their sleeves to help out with about two dozen service projects in locations throughout the city. That effort has since expanded to include up to 1,500 community members, who faithfully meet outside Costa Mesa City Hall one Saturday morning each year before heading out to as many as 100 individual service projects at local schools, parks and residences. Most volunteers have signed up in advance. Once at their posts, volunteers will spend the morning washing windows, assembling care packages, landscaping and repairing the homes of senior citizens, painting murals and beautifying schools throughout Costa Mesa, before returning to City Hall for a celebratory lunch with free meals and live performances. 'Love Costa Mesa is a way to encourage neighbors to come out, get to know their neighbors, and maybe invite a neighbor to give back to the community,' said Reina Cuthill, city catalyst director for the nonprofit Trellis International, which organizes the event. 'It's also a great way to meet your civic leaders, local nonprofits and get a glimpse of all the different ways you can make a difference in your city.' This year's event takes place Saturday, May 17, with a rally outside City Hall planned for 7:30 a.m. before the work begins, with a lunch to follow the projects scheduled from noon to 1 p.m. A sign up list of as many as 70 different projects can be found online at Although Love Costa Mesa started as a single day of volunteerism, it is now a broader umbrella that encompasses four main initiatives — Prayer, Education, Neighboring and City Challenge — each of which employs a similar model of collaboration all year round. Each campaign brings together local neighbors, churches, nonprofits, schools and businesses willing to mobilize support in real time to address the needs of stakeholders throughout the community, whether they are referred from a school, residential complex or other organization, Cuthill said Friday. 'The ripple effect of Love Costa Mesa and what Trellis has been up to lately is incredible,' she said. 'When humans get together we can make a collective impact that can last a generation and even make a generational impact — I've seen that.' Love Costa Mesa's annual day of citywide service takes place Saturday, May 17, from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more details, visit

New law targeting major shipping loophole could change online shopping forever: 'It's about time'
A key trade exemption between the U.S. and many of its biggest trade partners appears to be no more. This time, though, there may be environmental benefits, as analysts say its elimination is expected to have a big impact on one industry that greatly affects the planet: fast fashion from China. On Feb. 4, the White House enacted new tariffs, paused them on Feb. 7, and then enacted them again on March 4, which included eliminating the de minimis trade exemption. De minimis became law in the U.S. through the U.S. Tariff Act of 1930, with the goal of letting people and small businesses skip import fees for small shipments. The original amount was $200 and was raised to $800 in 2016. While it was beneficial for consumers who wanted to order a small item for their home without paying huge tariffs, it was greatly overutilized by the fast-fashion industry. Shipments under $800 rose from 153 million to 1 billion between 2015 and 2023, according to the White House. Fast fashion has made buying cheap clothing from overseas too easy, offering clothes for as little as a few dollars each and therefore encouraging a larger haul per customer. To be able to sell so cheaply, the clothing is made to deteriorate, or at least not made to last, causing Americans to toss 82 pounds of clothing every year, on average. While these extra few dollars of tariffs might make companies like Shein and Temu absorb the costs with small price increases or find an alternate route to keep consumers, sustainability advocates are hoping for a change in consumer behavior. Shein chairman Donald Tang reportedly attempted to downplay the effects, saying, "We will find a way to deliver the goods," but industry analysts believe it will strike a major blow to these companies' bottom lines. "The U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports could be a blessing in disguise for sustainable fashion brands," Rodica Murphy, a sustainability consultant based in Cheshire, England, shared with Trellis. "Fast-fashion behemoths like Shein and Temu, who churn out ultra-cheap, disposable clothing at breakneck speed, now face higher costs. And let's be honest — it's about time." The CEO of American Circular Textiles, Rachel Van Metre Kibbe, said she is also excited about the potential of this new policy. "If tariffs make new clothes pricier, people will lean even harder into resale, rental, and repair," she told Trellis, formerly known as GreenBiz. "That's already happening, but this could pour fuel on the fire." Would you be more likely to shop at a store that paid you for your old stuff? Absolutely Only if they make it easy Depends on the store Nope Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. Costs are rising in all aspects of our lives, and consumers are looking to cut costs everywhere. If buyers are upset about the surcharges on their supposedly inexpensive hauls, you could encourage them to shop secondhand locally, online with thrifting retailers like ThredUp, or to support sustainable brands that produce items that have no planned obsolescence. Shein sends nearly 1 million packages a day to the U.S. If Americans can be persuaded to cut back, that would make a big environmental impact.
