Risk Management

MyLÚA Health needed an enterprise-ready way to deliver culturally attuned maternal support between appointments while protecting sensitive health information and identifying risk earlier in underserved populations.

48% of participants completed proactive wellness activities
79% of mothers said they felt comfortable sharing sensitive health information
over 90% accuracy in identifying postpartum depression risk during the first trimester

Reported impact

Business outcome

MyLÚA validated early clinical and engagement results, improved trust with users and created a scalable platform for maternal support that can reduce risk and administrative burden.

Solution

MyLÚA Health partnered with IBM to build a multi-agent maternal-wellness platform that combines support, personalization and risk detection. IBM watsonx.ai provides the governed multilingual AI environment used to personalize responses and apply responsible AI controls, while IBM watsonx Orchestrate coordinates specialized agents across emotional, physical and social support domains. The platform runs on IBM Cloud with IBM Cloud Code Engine using FastAPI, Postgres and Redis so it can scale securely for regulated workloads. Users interact with the LÚA experience through mobile channels, and the agents translate those requests into check-ins, reminders, education and local resource activation. The same platform also supports structured summaries for doulas and care coordinators and early identification of postpartum-depression risk, all while keeping personally identifiable and protected health information away from large language models.

Data flow

User interactions flow into the IBM Cloud-hosted LÚA platform, where watsonx.ai interprets context, watsonx Orchestrate coordinates specialized agents and application services return guidance, reminders, summaries and resource actions while keeping sensitive data outside LLM prompts.

  1. Compute
    • IBM watsonx.ai Provides the governed multilingual AI environment used to personalize maternal-wellness guidance and risk detection.
    • IBM Cloud Hosts the secure regulated environment for the multi-agent maternal-wellness platform.
  2. Serving
    • IBM Cloud Code Engine Runs the application services and agent workloads that support secure scaling.
  3. Orchestration
    • IBM watsonx Orchestrate Coordinates specialized agents that turn user intent into check-ins, reminders, summaries and resource actions.

Architecture clues

  • Coordinates specialized agents across emotional, physical and social domains
  • Designed so PII and PHI are not sent to large language models
  • Runs on IBM Cloud Code Engine with FastAPI, Postgres and Redis

Evidence from the source

IBM watsonx Orchestrate coordinates specialized agents across emotional, physical and social domains.
MyLÚA partnered with IBM to design, test and deploy its multi-agent maternal-wellness platform underpinned by IBM watsonx.ai®, IBM watsonx Orchestrate®, IBM Cloud® and IBM Cloud Code Engine.
The platform’s privacy-preserving design further supports healthcare-grade governance and scalability because personally identifiable information and protected health information are not sent to large language models.

Scoring methodology

How scores are calculated

Customer Reference Value measures usefulness as a customer reference. Evidence Confidence measures the quality and traceability of available evidence, not independent verification.

Customer reference value100/100
  • Problem clarity20/20
    Measures whether the customer's operational problem is specific enough to compare.
  • Implementation depth25/25
    Rewards named components, data flow, integrations, and architecture detail.
  • Outcome specificity20/20
    Measures whether the reported benefit is concrete rather than a generic claim.
  • Quantified impact25/25
    3 metrics describe measurable impact.
  • Deployment scale10/10
    Rewards evidence of a live or scaled deployment and meaningful integration scope.
Evidence confidence84%
