About Mobile Maternity

Mobile Maternity allows you to “meet” with your out-of-town Obstetrician using a computer monitor, video camera and microphone. This permits you and your Specialist Doctor to visit as if you were both in the same room.

Mobile Maternity benefits you by

  • Providing access to specialist doctors’ services in the convenience and comfort of your community
  • Keeping you close to home
  • Reducing travel time and costs for you and family members
  • Giving you a choice to meet with your obstetrician specialist by Mobile Maternity or in person

Frequently Asked Questions

You can see, hear and talk to your obstetrician through video conferencing. You are not required to operate the Telehealth equipment. You may ask anyone to leave the room (if others  are present in the room with you, or in the room with  your health care provider).

 

Talk to your family doctor about Mobile Maternity. If it is right for you, and if the service is available, your family doctor or midwife will arrange a Mobile Maternity session.


Yes, a family member or friend is welcome to attend your Mobile Maternity session. Please think of your Mobile Maternity session as a regular appointment with your family doctor, midwife and specialist.


All  Mobile  Maternity  sessions  are  done  through  an encrypted  system.  You  will also  be  asked  to  sign  a consent form that outlines the details of the system and the research on the program.


It is your care. Mobile Maternity is your  choice. If you feel the Mobile Maternity session does not meet your health care needs, you may end the session and schedule a face-to-face appointment with the specialist doctor.


Dependent on your specialist doctor’s preferences, the length of a Mobile Maternity session can vary.
