Videra Health Launches Check on Mom: The First Free AI-Powered Postpartum Depression Screener

Orem, UT, September 23, 2025 – Videra Health, a leading AI platform for behavioral health providers, today announced the launch of Check on Mom, the first free, confidential AI-powered postpartum depression screener.

A New Approach to Postpartum Mental Health

One in five mothers experience postpartum depression, yet most go undiagnosed or untreated. Screenings are often inconsistent, stigma persists, and support frequently arrives too late -sometimes not until the six-week postpartum checkup, if at all.

Check on Mom changes that. The self-assessment tool empowers mothers to complete a private, video-based check-in using conversational AI that captures both spoken language and non-verbal cues.

How Check on Mom Works

Unlike traditional written surveys, Check on Mom uses conversational AI trained specifically for healthcare. In less than three minutes, mothers can:

1. Speak naturally instead of filling out forms
2. Complete the screening privately on nearly any device
3. Receive immediate, confidential results
4. Download results to share with OBs, midwives, or primary care providers

This dual approach -analyzing both verbal responses and non-verbal cues -helps distinguish between short-term “baby blues” and clinical postpartum depression (PPD).

Why Free Access Matters

”We made Check on Mom free because new mothers shouldn’t have to navigate insurance, costs, or waiting rooms just to understand what they’re feeling,” said Loren Larsen, CEO of Videra Health. “Every mom deserves access to mental health support, and that starts with knowing when to seek help.”

Check on Mom is available free of charge at checkonmom.ai.

Building on Proven Technology

Check on Mom leverages Videra Health’s clinically validated AI technology, which uses machine learning algorithms to analyze video data and detect subtle changes in facial expressions, body movements, and speech patterns that could indicate the presence of mental health conditions.

The company has developed AI screeners for depression, anxiety, trauma, and tardive dyskinesia (through TDScreen), serving behavioral health providers and patients nationwide.
