RightAnswer.com is proud to be one of ~120 global organizations working together with the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities to promote awareness of birth defects, their causes, and their impact around the world.

We celebrated World Birth Defects Day with the launch of our new ReproAnswer System, which bridges the gap between healthcare providers and the expert teratogen information needed to reduce the risk of premature births and birth defects.

Our ReproAnswer® System enables healthcare providers to more effectively counsel pregnant patients about possible effects of prescription and over-the-counter medications on their developing babies. This information is critical to all women of child-bearing age – before, during, and after pregnancy and lactation.

The ReproAnswer System puts comprehensive, curated, and targeted teratology information into the hands of healthcare providers will allow them to:

• FIND authoritative information to support medication safety in pregnancy and lactation
• UNDERSTAND quickly by efficiently searching topic-specific information
• DECIDE appropriate medication treatment options
• EXPLAIN to patients and family members so they feel more comfortable with decisions

RightAnswer developed the ReproAnswer System with SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) grants sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC supports health promotion and disease prevention programs, and the SBIR grants help U.S. small businesses complete the R&D behind new products and technologies.

RightAnswer is proud to offer this important system (internet and App versions) to healthcare providers globally.

American Medical Informatics Association® (AMIA) — Abstract
Healthcare providers (HCPs) caring for pregnant patients often need information on drug risks to the embryo or fetus, but such complex information takes time to find and is difficult to convey on an app. In this work, we first surveyed 167 HCPs to understand their current teratogen information-seeking practices to help inform our general design goals. Using the insights gained, we then designed a prototype of a mobile app and tested it with 22 HCPs. We learned that HCP’s information needs in this context can be grouped into 3 types: to understand, to decide, and to explain. Different sets of information and features may be needed to support these different needs. Further, while some HCPs had concerns about appearing unprofessional and unknowledgeable when using the app in front of patients, many did not. They noted that incorporating mobile information apps into practice improves information access, can help signal care and technology-savviness, in addition to providing an opportunity to engage and educate patients. Implications for design and additional features for reference apps for HCPs are discussed.

RightAnswer participated in their first ever virtual conference — attending the Society of Chemical Hazard Association (SCHC) 2020 fall conference. The virtual tradeshow format was an adjustment from the traditional in-person tradeshow, but a great chance for our staff to catch up with industry colleagues and meet with current and prospective customers.

SCHC is a professional society committed to promoting knowledge and awareness in all areas of chemical hazard communication. RightAnswer is a long-time member and exhibitor at their annual fall conference.

The Michigan group got some special attention from John Rakolta, Jr. (US Ambassador to the UAE), including a stop-by at our exhibit, a dinner meeting, and a boardroom meeting to introduce RightAnswer.com, Inc.

“The Arab Health Conference presents a unique opportunity to meet with healthcare business leaders interested in promoting the advancement of healthcare in the region of the United Arab Emirates, Middle East and North Africa. These areas are keen to improve healthcare with technological advancements that will allow them to catch up with and ideally surpass the quality of healthcare available in other areas of the world,” said Glen Markham, executive vice president of corporate business development for RightAnswer.com, Inc.
“In representing RightAnwer.com at Arab Health, I have been able to meet with senior-level people at Dubai Health Authority, Abu Dhabi Health Authority, Dubai Healthcare City and executives at other prominent organizations. Without MEDC, this type of international export activity would not be practical for a small company and we sincerely appreciate their support.”
