Quick answers
What problem is Alma Care solving?
Gallagher told TechTO in October 2025 that Canadian postpartum care amounts to roughly a six-week check-in for the mother, that about one in four women experience postpartum depression, and that fewer than a third of them get treatment.
Why did Alma move from a retreat to in-home care?
Reach. Gallagher said the retreat could only support a small number of families at a time; in-home care scaled, and it is what she used herself after her second daughter. Alma went from Toronto to the GTA to all of Ontario inside a year.
How does Alma measure outcomes?
Standard mental-health screening — she named the PHQ-9 — plus weekly check-ins against each family's own goals, as she described on the TechTO stage.
