Unravel Healthcare

What Unravel Healthcare does

Unravel Healthcare, Inc. is a Boston-based, for-profit healthcare services company founded in 2024 as an independent spinout of Ariadne Labs, the joint health systems innovation center at Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The company's core offering is TeamBirth, an evidence-based, human-centered process that improves communication, teamwork, and shared decision-making across prenatal care, labor and delivery, and postpartum care. The solution is operationalized through structured huddles, a wall-mounted Shared Planning Tool that names care team members and tracks care plans, multilingual discussion and support guides in 10+ languages, an evidence-based Implementation Pathway and Roadmap, and SCORM-formatted training packages for hospital learning management systems. The TeamBirth intellectual property is owned by Ariadne Labs; Unravel Healthcare holds the commercial implementation rights.

Unravel monetizes TeamBirth through enterprise field sales of implementation, coaching, and training services sold directly to hospital labor and delivery units, with the CEO personally leading sales and client relationships. Following a 2019 pilot at four U.S. clinical sites, TeamBirth has scaled to 200+ hospitals across the U.S. and Sweden. Reported adoption metrics include 97% of patients having the role they wanted in their childbirth experience, 93% of clinicians reporting improved care, and 90% of providers willing to recommend the program. The company also operates the Unravel Healthcare Alliance, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (fiscally sponsored by Mission Edge San Diego in 2025 and operating independently in 2026) that funds TeamBirth implementations at under-resourced rural and critical access hospitals at $50,000 per site. The business is led by Founder and CEO Dr. Amber Weiseth (a 20+ year obstetric nurse and Ariadne Labs Research Scientist) and a four-person leadership team, with no disclosed external funding or revenue.
