Dr. Lucie Ide Spills the Tea on Monitoring Moms and Moving the Needle

Today on HITea With Grace, I’m honored to welcome Dr. Lucie Ide, founder and CEO of Rimidi, a company at the forefront of remote patient monitoring (RPM) and maternal healthcare innovation.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Ide shares her journey from OBGYN residency to health tech leadership—and how her clinical roots continue to shape her mission-driven work at Rimidi. We dive deep into the maternal health crisis in the U.S., exploring both the challenges and the tech-enabled solutions that are making a difference.

We chat about:

• The U.S. maternal mortality crisis and lessons we can borrow from international models.
• The critical role RPM plays in improving outcomes for mothers—especially in rural and underserved communities.
• Success stories from programs at Boston Medical Center and the University of South Carolina.
• How gender roles and cultural expectations impact the delivery and quality of maternal care.
• What shifting political landscapes mean for the future of reproductive health.
• Tangible ways to bring maternal health to the top of the national agenda.

We also touch on what drives Dr. Ide as a woman leader in healthcare tech, how she navigates life’s challenges, and her best advice for women in the space.

This is a must-listen episode for anyone passionate about equity in healthcare, digital innovation, and lifting up maternal health as a national priority!
