Postnatal review
After birth, mother and baby are followed up by different teams, but it's the mother who answers for both. TESSA takes one check-in from her and directs it to the respective providers. Her own recovery covers bleeding, wound or tear healing, pain, breastfeeding, pelvic floor, contraception and mood, including postnatal depression. The baby's covers feeding, weight, jaundice, nappies and newborn checks. Each team gets its own summary, so both can see who may need an earlier review.

Questions
What does TESSA do in postnatal review?
After birth, mother and baby are followed up by different teams, but it's the mother who answers for both. TESSA takes one check-in from her and directs it to the respective providers. Her own recovery covers bleeding, wound or tear healing, pain, breastfeeding, pelvic floor, contraception and mood, including postnatal depression. The baby's covers feeding, weight, jaundice, nappies and newborn checks. Each team gets its own summary, so both can see who may need an earlier review. It does this through information gathering, summarisation.
Does TESSA diagnose the patient?
No, TESSA never gives a patient a diagnosis. It collects and collates the information the patient provides, asks probing questions and performs risk assessment; a clinician reviews the summary and decides, and no diagnosis, summary or management plan reaches the patient until the clinician signs.
What happens if the patient mentions a warning sign?
Warning or worrying signs that require immediate attention or action go straight to the care team without alarming the patient. For time-critical presentations, TESSA supports the clinician only and is not currently intended for patient use.
How is patient information protected?
The patient surface runs on session codes, not names, and each institution's data is kept apart with a full audit trail. Our own Anonesia by TINYHealth is a proprietary software and code that removes PIIs, e.g. names, ID numbers and contact details from text before it reaches an AI model.
