Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum — Idaho subpoenaed Flo in 2024, 36% maternity care deserts, US 32.9/100K maternal mortality (worst high-income country), 84% preventable.
Health & WellnessAbout
In 2024, Idaho prosecutors subpoenaed Flo Health for user data related to a criminal abortion investigation — the first documented use of a pregnancy app's data in a post-Dobbs prosecution. The Bump and BabyCenter are data harvesting operations that sell reproductive health information to insurers, employers, and data brokers. 36% of US counties are maternity care deserts with no OB or midwife. The US maternal mortality rate is 32.9 per 100,000 live births — the worst of any high-income country, 3x the UK rate. 84% of maternal deaths are preventable according to CDC analysis. Black women die at 2.6x the rate of white women. Postpartum depression affects 1 in 5 people and is routinely dismissed, undertreated, or misdiagnosed. The Flo subpoena changed the threat model for every pregnancy app: local-first storage is not a feature, it is the minimum viable security architecture. WanderBirth is local-first by design with post-Dobbs subpoena resistance built in from day one.
