Clinton, MO. – (Feb. 18, 2026) – Golden Valley Memorial Healthcare (GVMH) is expanding access to prenatal care for rural and high-risk patients through the launch of INVU by Nuvo, an innovative remote pregnancy monitoring system that allows expectant mothers to complete key prenatal appointments from home.
The technology makes prenatal care easier for rural patients by reducing common challenges like long travel, transportation issues, and hard-to-fit appointments. With INVU, patients can complete their bi-weekly monitoring from home, helping them get care more consistently and keeping both moms and babies healthier.
This program is supported by a grant from the Rural Citizens Access to Telehealth program and reflects GVMH’s commitment to improving outcomes for vulnerable populations through practical, patient-focused solutions.
Missouri has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country. At GVMH, 63% of pregnancies are considered high-risk, compared to a national average of approximately 7%. Despite the importance of regular monitoring, just over half of GVMH’s high-risk OB patients currently receive the full American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommended antenatal testing.
INVU by Nuvo helps close that gap by letting patients send real-time maternal and fetal health information to their OB provider from home. Providers can track vital signs remotely, and patients can view their baby’s data through a secure, easy-to-use mobile app.
This remote monitoring program was developed by GVMH’s Innovation Committee, which was created to find gaps in care and develop practical solutions to improve health in the communities GVMH serves. One of the committee’s first goals was to address the unique challenges of obstetrical care, especially for high-risk pregnancies.
“We are thrilled to bring INVU to our patients,” said Rachel Boyles, Chief Ancillary Officer at GVMH. “This technology directly responds to the real challenges our patients face. By removing barriers to care, we are helping ensure more consistent monitoring and safer pregnancies for moms and babies in our communities. This is one of many ways GVMH is reimagining rural healthcare to meet patients where they are.”
