Case Study

From Launch to Scale:
How Stage Care Built a Best-in-Class Tech-Enabled Maternal Health Service with Wellifiy

Overview

Stage Care is a pioneering maternal health service that supports women throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. Based in St. Louis (USA), Stage Care offers a unique model of care that blends clinical expertise, non-clinical community support, peer connection, and digital engagement.

From the start, the founding team at Stage Care had a bold vision: to create an accessible, holistic, and tech-enabled model that could deliver personalised support at every stage of the maternal journey. But as a new service, the challenge was how to go from zero to one quickly - without being distracted by technology build, fragmented tools, or the overhead of managing IT infrastructure.

Partnering with Wellifiy allowed Stage Care to launch with speed and stability, giving them a centralised, white-labeled digital platform that reflected both their model of care and their brand identity. This ensured that every digital touchpoint reinforced Stage’s mission and values, while freeing the team to focus on building programs, supporting patients, and forging partnerships.

The Challenge:
Scaling Global Care, While Expanding Services

Launching a healthcare service involves countless moving parts like recruiting staff, establishing programs, building referral networks, and winning the trust of patients and partners. The founding team at Stage Care knew that at the outset, and determined early on that they wanted to focus their time and energy on care and growth, not on stitching together tech systems.

The risks of going down the DIY or multi-tool path were significant:

Building custom technology would have been slow, costly, and distracting.

Stitching together multiple tools would create inefficiencies, gaps in care, and a disjointed patient experience.

Staff would face unnecessary admin burden rather than focusing on program delivery and patient relationships.

Stage Care needed a partner that could provide a ready-to-use, yet highly configurable platform that felt authentically “Stage,” and could support both the clinical and non-clinical aspects of their model of care.

“Launching a healthcare service is complex enough and we didn’t want to be pulled into building technology in parallel to that. Wellifiy gave us a platform that worked out of the box, so we could keep our focus on care and growth.”

The Solution:
A Configurable Platform for a Village Model of Care

Wellifiy provided Stage Care with a white-labeled, modular platform that could be configured to reflect their unique approach to maternal health.

“Having both clinical and non-clinical teams supported in one system has been powerful. It means our whole model of care is reflected digitally, and mothers experience it as one seamless journey.”

The Patient Experience

For mothers, the Stage platform feels like a natural extension of the in-person care they receive:

Clear daily and weekly schedules for appointments, classes, and group sessions.

Access to resources and content including videos, meditations, and journaling tools that reinforce learning and wellbeing.

Digital forms and assessments that reduce paperwork and help track health over time.

Peer support through group chats and program-based channels that reduce isolation and create a sense of belonging.

The combination of clinical support, non-clinical guidance, and peer connection makes Stage’s model deeply personal and highly effective-both in-person and digitally.

The Outcome:
A Fast-Growing Maternal Health Leader

With Wellifiy as its digital foundation, Stage Care was able to launch quickly and establish itself as a credible, scalable provider:

Rapid launch from zero – Stage Care moved from concept to fully operational service without being slowed by tech build.

Freed to focus on growth – the team concentrated on patient care, program development, and building referral channels instead of juggling IT.

Clinical + non-clinical alignment – workflows for all care providers supported in one system.

Won major partnerships – the combination of a strong service model and a robust digital platform meant Stage Care was able to succeed in competitive tender opportunities from day one.

Operational efficiency – automation saved staff countless hours, reduced errors, and ensured consistency.

Stronger brand identity – the white-labeled app reinforced Stage’s brand and values with every patient interaction.

“Wellifiy gave us the tools to move quickly and demonstrate our value to partners. Winning tenders like our contract with the City of St. Louis would have been much harder without the credibility of having such a strong, scalable digital platform behind us.”
