Reducing health disparities and increasing support among Black mothers is the focus of a start-up company, MOMLogics. This study aimed to provide evidence that would be used to design new mobile health applications. Qualitative data from empathic inquiries and focus groups gave more insight into the unique challenges Black mothers face. A survey was created and fielded to explore how specific biopsychosocial factors are associated with Black mothers’ health. Implications for applications will be presented.
