Neeraj Desai, MD

High Risk OB, 
Maternal Fetal Medicine
Dr. Neeraj Desai, a board-certified maternal-fetal medicine specialist, helped lead a team at Orlando Health to develop Bleed ID to address critical delays in recognizing and treating postpartum hemorrhage. Drawing on 15+ years of frontline experience, he recognized that these delays were contributing to suboptimal maternal outcomes, disrupting the vital bond between mother and newborn, and creating challenging working conditions for medical teams. In response, the team developed the first real-time hemorrhage alert system specifically designed for C-section care—empowering providers with rapid, actionable insights for life-saving interventions.
