AI agent for midwifes
Perinatal Mental Health Screening Agent
Every woman is screened at the right times and every positive screen has contact and a referral.
What it does
A mood screen done once at booking misses women whose mood changes later, and positive scores are not always followed up. The agent schedules the screening at set visits in pregnancy and after birth, reads the scores as they are entered and flags those above the cutoff. For each flag, it drafts a call plan and referral suggestion for the midwife, based on the local pathway. The next day, it checks that contact was made and recorded. If not, it reminds the midwife and escalates after a second miss. It tracks follow-up until the woman is linked with support or the midwife closes the item. The midwife approves every referral and message. Edge case: any answer indicating thoughts of self-harm goes to the midwife at once for same-day contact.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
