New York City, New York Aug 8, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Dr. Kuppuswami, "Narma", is an obstetrician-gynecologist with over four decades of experience delivering care in the United States and India. Her passion is to make a difference in women's lives: before, during, and beyond childbirth.

Leveraging her extensive experience in maternal and neonatal mortality reviews, Dr. Kuppuswami created a mobile application called WONDER which stands for Women's Obstetrical, Neonatal, Death Evaluation & Reduction. This application helps mothers to monitor themselves using simple biometric devices like BP apparatus, thermometer, and weighing scale and keying in important symptoms they might experience. If anything is abnormal, the system will alert the user to seek medical advice.
"We must do more to help practitioners provide more timely treatment in order to prevent serious complications or death. So many maternal deaths are avoidable. My mission is to stop the unnecessary loss of so many precious mothers' lives by helping clinicians and patients have access to the tools and information they need to keep both mother and baby safe" expressed Dr. Kuppuswami.
Back in the early days of her academic career, she graduated with her Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery degree from Stanley Medical College in India in 1971.

Once there, Dr. Kuppuswami completed her medical degree at Cook County Hospital in Chicago, Illinois in 1982.
Subsequent to her education, she attained board certification in obstetrics and gynecology from the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). The ABOG is a non-profit organization that provides board certification for practicing obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States and Canada.

From the years of 1984 until 1987, she served as an Assistant Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology at Chicago Medical School. Then, from 1987 until 1988, she took on the role of Associate Professor.
Distinguished with fellowship status, Dr. Kuppuswami served as a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG).
In addition, she served as a member of the American Medical Association and as an International Fellow of the Indian College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists.
