A woman sits in her car in a grocery store parking lot, searching on her phone. She needs help. She needs answers. But the nearest pregnancy center is 45 minutes away, and she has no childcare for her toddler in the backseat.
Another woman stares at the front door of a local center from across the street. She wants to go inside, but fear holds her back. What if someone she knows sees her? What if her family finds out? The stigma feels too heavy, and she walks away.
These women represent thousands who slip through the cracks every year. Not because centers don't care, but because physical walls create invisible barriers.
Distance, transportation, childcare, fear, and stigma all stand between women in crisis and the help they desperately need.
Telehealth integration for eKyros centers changes this reality. By bringing virtual pregnancy counseling directly to smartphones,
Curogram removes the barriers that keep women from seeking support. Your mission no longer ends at your building's walls. It extends to living rooms, parked cars, break rooms at work, and anywhere a woman needs immediate, confidential help.
Distance creates missed opportunities in ways that aren’t always obvious at first glance. Geography plays a major role, especially for women in rural communities.
When the nearest pregnancy center is 30, 45, or even 60 minutes away, access becomes a serious challenge. For many, making the trip simply isn’t realistic.
Common barriers include:
Urban settings present a different set of obstacles, but the impact can be just as limiting. A woman may live close to a center yet work across town without access to a car. Public transportation can stretch what should be a short trip into hours.
Add childcare responsibilities, and even a nearby location can feel out of reach. Proximity alone does not guarantee accessibility.
Crisis moments, meanwhile, do not wait for business hours. A woman might discover her pregnancy late at night, when anxiety feels overwhelming and questions won’t quiet down.
By morning, she may urgently need reassurance and guidance—not an appointment scheduled days later. Traditional in-person models often cannot meet that immediacy, leaving a gap at the very moment support is most needed.
Beyond logistics and timing, emotional barriers can be the most powerful of all. Walking into a pregnancy center requires courage. The fear of being seen, judged, or recognized by someone familiar can feel paralyzing.
For some women, that invisible wall is just as strong as any physical distance. They want help, but taking that first step through the door feels impossible.
HIPAA-compliant video for non-profits through Curogram brings your counseling room to wherever women feel safest, making secure tele-mental health counseling both practical and personal.
Instead of asking her to overcome transportation issues, scheduling conflicts, or fear of being seen, you meet her where she already is.
The technology itself works with elegant simplicity: your counselor clicks one button to begin a session, and the system instantly sends the client a secure link via text message.
That simplicity is intentional. In moments of stress or crisis, complicated instructions can feel overwhelming. The easier it is to connect, the more likely she is to follow through.
No Apps, No Accounts, No Barriers
The woman taps the link, and her phone’s browser opens directly into a secure video session. There are no downloads, no passwords to remember, and no account creation process to slow her down.
She might be sitting in her bedroom, her parked car, or a quiet corner at work—wherever she feels calm enough to talk honestly.
This zero-download approach matters more than most people realize. Every additional step creates friction, and friction costs connection. When someone is already anxious, scared, or unsure, even small obstacles can become stopping points.
Common drop-off triggers include:
Each extra requirement increases the chance she decides it’s “too much” and gives up before ever speaking to a counselor.
Mobile video visits through Curogram remove those barriers entirely. The secure link works instantly on any smartphone or tablet with a browser. Behind the scenes, the connection uses enterprise-grade encryption that meets strict healthcare privacy standards.
When the session ends, no visible app, account, or call history remains on the client’s device. Even if she shares her phone with family members, her privacy remains protected.
By reducing both technical and emotional friction, virtual sessions transform access to care. What once required transportation, time off work, and public visibility can now begin with a single tap—making support not just available, but truly reachable.
Remote options counseling doesn't just add convenience. It fundamentally expands who you can serve. Centers using eKyros telemedicine through Curogram report reaching 50% more clients than they could serve with in-person appointments alone.
Extend Your Geographic Footprint
Geographic reach extends immediately. Your center in one county can now serve women in neighboring counties with no local resources. A single counselor can connect with clients across your entire region without anyone traveling.
You serve women who would never have accessed support otherwise.
Evening and weekend availability becomes practical. Staff can offer virtual pregnancy counseling from home without opening the physical building. A woman working two jobs can finally schedule a session during a break or after her kids go to bed.
Your hours of availability multiply without additional overhead costs:
No-show rates drop dramatically when flexibility increases. When a client calls saying she can't make her in-person appointment, you can instantly convert it to a video visit. Instead of a canceled appointment and lost opportunity, you complete the session right then.
That immediate flexibility saves relationships and keeps women engaged with your services.
Curogram works directly with eKyros, your existing client management system, creating a seamless experience for your team. When you schedule a virtual appointment in eKyros, the integration handles the rest automatically.
The appointment appears in your counselor’s Curogram dashboard, ready to launch at the scheduled time without extra steps or manual coordination.
After each session, notes flow back into eKyros automatically. Your documentation stays complete and organized whether appointments take place virtually or in person. There’s no need to switch between platforms, re-enter information, or worry about fragmented records.
Everything remains centralized, accurate, and easy to track.
Virtual visits are clearly marked within your records, making reporting straightforward and transparent. When funders ask how many clients you served, your numbers reflect the full picture.
When leadership evaluates outreach efforts or expansion into underserved areas, the data demonstrates how telehealth extended your reach beyond physical walls.
Most importantly, this integration preserves familiar workflows for your staff. They continue scheduling appointments in eKyros exactly as they always have. The only real change is selecting “video” instead of “in-person” as the appointment type.
From their perspective, the system feels the same—just more powerful.
Pregnancy centers handle deeply personal information. Women share their fears, their relationships, their health concerns. That trust demands the highest level of security protection. Curogram delivers HIPAA compliance and SOC2 Type II certification designed specifically for healthcare communications.
Beyond Basic Compliance
SOC2 Type II certification means independent auditors verify that security controls work effectively over time. The certification proves that data protection isn't just a promise but a tested reality. Consumer video tools like FaceTime, free Zoom accounts, or Skype don't meet these standards.
Consider the difference between consumer platforms and healthcare-grade security:
Curogram encrypts every video connection using the same technology banks use for online transactions. The video never gets stored or recorded unless you specifically choose that option. When the call ends, the connection terminates completely with no trace left behind.
Is this secure enough for counseling?
Yes. Curogram maintains SOC2 Type II certification and full HIPAA compliance specifically designed for healthcare communications. The platform provides significantly stronger security than consumer tools like FaceTime, free Zoom accounts, or Skype.
Independent auditors verify Curogram's security controls regularly. Every video connection uses enterprise-grade encryption. The system protects client information from unauthorized access while maintaining the natural flow of counseling conversations.
Can we screen share educational materials?
Yes. Counselors can share their screen during video calls to display fetal development diagrams, resource lists, or educational videos. This feature works seamlessly within the video interface.
Screen sharing often creates better learning experiences than printed materials. You can show exactly the right information at the right moment in the conversation. Clients can ask questions about specific images or take screenshots for their records.
Do we need digital forms first?
Yes. Sending consent and HIPAA release forms via text before the video appointment ensures proper documentation. Curogram's digital intake feature handles this smoothly.
Clients receive forms on their phones, sign with their finger, and the completed documents flow into eKyros automatically. This process saves time during the actual counseling session and keeps all paperwork organized in one system.
Your mission reaches further when access is no longer defined by geography. Every woman who needs support deserves a real opportunity to receive it. Physical buildings will always play a vital role in pregnancy resource work—they provide safety, community, and face-to-face connection that cannot be replaced.
But walls should never determine who qualifies for care.
Telehealth integration for eKyros centers removes the barriers of distance, transportation, and fear.
Women in rural counties, those navigating crisis situations late at night, or those anxious about being seen walking into a center can now access the same compassionate counseling as women who step through your doors. Support becomes defined by availability, not proximity.
This shift doesn’t replace your in-person services; it strengthens them. Virtual access allows you to serve more clients without expanding physical space, adding new locations, or stretching staff beyond capacity.
It creates flexibility in scheduling, reduces no-shows, and opens doors to women who might never have reached out otherwise.
The technology itself stays in the background where it belongs. It works simply. The security meets healthcare standards. The integration with eKyros feels natural and intuitive.
Your team doesn’t need to become tech experts—they can focus on listening, guiding, and building trust instead of managing complicated systems.
When barriers fall, your impact grows. Your mission expands beyond four walls and into homes, cars, dorm rooms, and quiet spaces where women feel safe enough to speak honestly. Your reach extends to every woman who needs help, wherever she may be.
