This looks super promising—curious how you’re thinking about managing abstraction vs flexibility. A lot of ‘AI app builders’ oversimplify to the point where power users hit walls f…

awesome!!

Those stem cells are more unstable than cord blood stem cells. Right now they can be carcinogenic!

Also we don’t dislike delayed cord clamping - our parents delay for max two mins! :)

Check out the question “ How long should you delay cord clamping?” At https://health.clevelandclinic.org/what-you-should-know-abou... :)

with companies like mine haha AnjaHealth.com - we send parents a kit, they can collect, we pick it up and bring it to a lab, and parents can access it later in life

A doula told me that she saw this happen in the US once too. It's not legal, but I think there are legal loopholes around it. Another OBGYN told me it's more common in Europe

hello - founder of Anja Health here :) I would actually argue that the chances of using it are actually much higher & it would make the top 1000 options in terms of expected ROI. U…

hello! founder of Anja Health here :) Yes, it makes sense without a predisposition. Things like HIV with the woman cited in the article, cerebral palsy due to a near drowning accid…

I think freezing for future use is the best way to go. A few reasons: 1) cord blood transplants from related donors have higher survival rates than unrelated donors https://www.nej…

Clients sign an agreement stating that it is their property. We shift the management of this property to another company in the case that anything happens. All samples remain in ou…

In the case of my brother there was quite a bit of evidence surrounding cord blood improving motor and social skills. I linked a Duke article on it in another comment The percent o…

I am! I know it does happen in Canada- https://parentsguidecordblood.org/en/family-banking/canada This is a record of successful uses there!

Those stem cells are more unstable than the ones we collect & can be carcinogenic

It’s illegal to sell them in the US - it mainly happens in Europe

Ah I see - we’re from the umbilical cord so they’re a bit different from fetal stem cells!

Why would it be quackery? This is a pain point that my family faced. My brothers cerebral palsy was an unforeseen circumstance due to a near drowning accident. The odds of that hap…

Oh I see. Yeah I think it depends on which bank youre working with. They may have their own policy! We have an insurance guarantee :)

Oh yes sorry - kathryn@anjahealth.com

It has been used for the baby themselves & siblings :) Some cases where babies use them themselves: https://www.nature.com/articles/bmt2012146 https://pediatrics.duke.edu/news/umbi…

Low income families themselves have told us they’re so happy they finally found an affordable solution. So I’d beg to differ (qualifying low income as <75k household income. They s…
