🩺 The Clinical Difference
Not all blood pressure monitors are created equal.
The devices we’ve chosen for our Preeclampsia Protection Kits are FDA-cleared, clinically validated, and designed with high-risk mothers in mind.
Many blood pressure monitors sold at major retailers like Walmart, Walgreens, and Amazon are considered general wellness devices. They may not be FDA-cleared or clinically validated for use during postpartum care or high-risk pregnancies. These consumer-grade devices often have the following limitations:
❌ Not clinically tested on diverse bodies
❌ Unable to detect irregular heartbeats or arrhythmias
❌ Often wrist-based—designs most providers do not recommend for accuracy
❌ Built with algorithms that don’t consider pregnancy or postpartum risks
When your life—or your baby’s life—is on the line, inaccuracy is unacceptable.
Let’s be honest. Black and Brown mothers are expected to accept subpar care, wait in silence, and be grateful for the bare minimum. We are sent home with printouts and instructions. We’re told to ‘just monitor it.’ We’re expected to trust devices that were never made for us, if we can even afford it.
But we know better.
And we refuse to accept less.
Our babies’ lives hang in that gap. And it’s infuriating. It’s heartbreaking. And it’s wrong.
This work is personal.
I battled postpartum preeclampsia. I felt my blood pressure rising. I felt my heart slowing. I tried home remedies and guesswork because no one handed me a real tool.
I was afraid—and I was alone.
No mother should have to question whether her pain, her pressure, her life is worth taking seriously.
That’s why I started The Next 9. That’s why I choose quality over quantity—every single time.
That’s why I will not compromise.
Every blood pressure monitor in our kits is:
✅ Clinically validated for accuracy
✅ FDA-cleared
✅ Equipped with Irregular Heartbeat Detection
✅ Built with a wide-range cuff (fits more arms and body types)
✅ Comes with an AC adapter (no batteries required, no barriers)
This is what our mothers deserve: real tools, real care, and real respect. And this is what you make possible when you support The Next 9.
We don’t take chances with mothers’ lives—and we won’t distribute devices that do.
We do this with intention.
We do this with love.
And we do this because our mothers are worth it.
