MORGANTOWN – Local medtech startup Moodr Health is celebrating its recent win as the Startup World Cup regional champion and the chance to compete for the world’s most sensible honor and a $1 million prize in October.
Moodr Health is an Intermed Labs startup and Gen M corporate
Mon Health’s P3 program, Progressing via Postpartum, partnered with Moodr last year to offer perinatal care to pregnant and postpartum women facing intellectual fitness challenges. And last week, Moodr announced a partnership with West Virginia Junior College to launch a pilot program to provide nurses. -In training with much-needed intellectual aptitude support.
Momord’s is located at Intermed Labs’ headquarters in the WVU Innovation Corp. building.
Michelle Hopkins is the Director of Customer Success at Moodr Health, works for Intermed and works at M
She explained that Moodr is an app and, at the same time, a two-way messaging resource that connects the mother or nursing student with a life coach or doctor who runs Moodr from their site. The life coach sees a text message from a user on their computer and responds.
“It’s about wellness, wellness and taking care of yourself in a holistic way” and letting them know they have something for them, she said.

He said that physical care is fundamentally intellectually reactive: it responds to a need for help. But intellectual aptitude is not the same thing. Care will have to be proactive. In the perinatal setting, 85% of mothers suffer some kind of intellectual misery during pregnancy and one year after childbirth, yet only 7% seek help.
“What we’re doing is creating a capacity, a platform, a protocol, and a team that will proactively help all those other people that we call suffering in silence. “Right now, that’s 6. 6 million moms. And at WVJC, it is nursing scholars who revel in the combined pressures of nursing education with the pressures of adult life, in all likelihood with a task and a family.
Asking for help means overcoming not only the reluctance to go out, but also the possible stigma of being known with intellectual fitness issues. And in the perinatal setting, depression also affects parents, children, and families.
Many people, businesses, and organizations are looking for ways to solve the problem. “We think we have a very clever technique for this and our knowledge shows that it’s a wonderful technique. “
And this can be applied to all intellectual fitness issues, adding the post-traumatic stress disorder and loneliness epidemic that have become evident with COVID.
Hopkins elaborated on this point. The social determinants of fitness are a very hot topic right now. There are case managers who can’t succeed with their patients because other people don’t answer their phones anymore. This creates a communication deficit. But other people respond to a text message. Case managers call Moodr a case manager’s dream.
Aggarwal’s son, Ataes Aggarwal, is a student at Johns Hopkins University and leads the strategy and vision of the generational aspect of Moodr, and is helping with the business aspect. Participating remotely, he commented on the World Cup.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity for us to get out there and show the world that Moodr is here and that we’re looking to help a large portion of the population,” he said. “We’re a startup and a business and we’re already impacting thousands of lives right now, and we’re going to grow. ” This award is a step in that direction.
The Startup World Cup has hosted more than 50 regional events in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Each regional winner will compete in the final festival on Oct. 4 in San Francisco.
The regional win was the second step that began with winning $70,000 in the IgniteWV pitch competition, said Jackie Lytton, Moodr’s director of marketing and business development. He also does marketing for M
IgniteWV is organized through WVU’s John Chambers College of Business and Economics. This is a contest open to all parties over the age of 18 who need to register with a company in West Virginia for the start-up and expansion of their business ideas.
Thanks to IgniteWV, Hopkins said, Moodr was one of six startups shortlisted for the World Cup regional award and won.
Lytton commented, “I think we’re proud to charter West Virginia and put our state on the map. They will be the ideal choice for intellectual fitness care. The connections they make in California in October will continue to put the state and Moodr on the map.
Aggarwal said they are in talks with other fitness bodies and insurers to partner with Moodr, but it’s too early to reveal details.
