Videra Health, an Orem-based AI platform for behavioral health providers, has launched Check on Mom, the first free, confidential AI-powered postpartum depression screener. The self-assessment tool empowers mothers to complete a private, video-based check-in using conversational AI that captures both verbal and non-verbal signs of postpartum depression (PPD) and generates results they can share with a provider.

Unlike traditional written screeners, Check on Mom uses video and AI language models trained specifically for healthcare to analyze both spoken words and non-verbal cues. The company said this dual-layer approach provides deeper insights into maternal mental health, making it easier to distinguish between common “baby blues” and postpartum depression.

“Check on Mom is not just a digital tool, it is a public health resource,” said Loren Larsen, co-founder and CEO of Videra Health, in a company release. “By showing what is possible with AI-powered video screeners, we are opening new opportunities for earlier detection and better outcomes, not just in maternal health but across conditions where timely screening can make a real difference for patients and providers.”

How Check on Mom Works:

It’s free and confidential: No insurance, no cost. It can be completed on almost any device, at any time, in less than three minutes. Instead of static surveys, moms can speak openly and naturally about how they feel, and results are theirs to share. Downloadable results can be shared with OBs, midwives, or primary care providers to guide next steps.

One in five mothers experience postpartum depression, yet most go undiagnosed or untreated because screenings are inconsistent, stigma persists, and support often arrives too late. With Check on Mom, any mother can complete a short, video-based screener in just a few minutes and access secure results immediately without waiting for a six-week appointment or navigating health system barriers, according to the company release.

Check on Mom is a proof point for how AI can transform condition-specific screening at scale. By applying conversational AI and video analysis, Videra Health said it is creating earlier pathways to care for conditions that are too often overlooked.

Check on Mom is available free of charge for any mom wanting to screen for postpartum depression. Visit www.checkonmom.ai to learn more.
