FCC Launches New Maternal Health Mapping Platform

The Federal Communications Commission announced the launch of a major update to the Mapping Broadband Health in America platform, expanding its capacity to analyze the intersection of broadband connectivity and a range of critical health outcomes, including new variables to better examine maternal health. This powerful tool allows users to visualize and survey data on maternal health, chronic disease, opioid abuse, cancer, and social determinants of health, providing researchers, policymakers, and the public with deeper insights into the challenges facing millions of Americans, particularly in areas with limited broadband connectivity.
