Motherhood Hospitals Launches AI-Led Ad Film to Promote India’s First AI-Powered Holistic Pregnancy App — ‘Motherhood ONE’

Bengaluru, June 09, 2025: In a one-of-a-kind move in the women’s healthcare marketing space, India’s leading network of Women and Children’s hospitals, Motherhood Hospitals, has launched a relatable, AI-generated ad film. This ad film was produced to unveil Motherhood ONE – the first-of-its-kind subscription-based pregnancy care App in India, designed to provide holistic and personalised care to expecting mothers. The ad film has received 30,000+ views (organic) for all the posts combined.

The ad film is developed entirely using AI-generated characters and environments and is built on the satirical take on the unsolicited advice often given to pregnant women, from neighbours, milkmen, salon ladies, and even security guards. Often in India, pregnant women are bombarded with superstitions like drinking saffron milk to get a fair baby or doing a certain physical activity to ensure normal delivery– the ad humorously spotlights that while these ads have the right intention of care, they can often be unscientific and misleading.

Speaking of the Motherhood One app and ad film, Mr. Vijayarathna Venkatraman, CEO, Motherhood Hospitals said, “For the first time in India, mothers can access this level of personalised care through Motherhood Hospitals, setting a new standard in maternal care. Overall, we wanted the ad film to convey the message that by accessing expert medical advice on their mobile device, Motherhood One empowers mothers to navigate their pregnancy journey with confidence and ease. Apart from myth busting on pregnancy, the Ad film captures how the app helps women stay on top of health milestones, building an emotional connection with the baby, or receiving real-time medical advice”.

Says Robbie Anthoney, Founder of Phantom, the advertising agency behind the campaign: “As Indians, we’re all so wonderfully skilled at doling out advice, most of it unsolicited. We’re all ‘experts’, regardless of whether we’re qualified to speak on the subject or not. Our job, as an agency, was to pitch the Motherhood One app as the real expert – and to do that in a fun and engaging way.”

Through sharp yet relatable storytelling and creative use of AI avatars, the film delivers a clear message: When it comes to pregnancy, listen to medical experts and not hearsay. The video positions the Motherhood ONE app as the go-to, credible source for medical guidance – offering expectant mothers’ instant access to gynaecologists, real-time symptom tracking, medication reminders and pregnancy journal, among others.

Conception and Ideation

The ad is being rolled out across social media with strong amplification through digital influencers and parenting communities. The ad film was produced in collaboration with the in-house marketing team and Phantom for the campaign. Influencer marketing is planned for the subsequent months. The uniqueness of this campaign lies in the four different communications from different characters, displayed across all platforms.

The team adopted Claymation, a rarely used technique in Indian healthcare advertising, to present humorous and exaggerated visuals of everyday people—maids, liftmen, milkmen, and managers. The format added a light-hearted, attention-grabbing appeal while keeping the message impactful. AI was used innovatively in the video production process.

Wockhardt Hospitals Mira Road Leads Awareness Drive on World Brain Tumour Day 2025, Urges Early Detection with “Think Fast, Act Early” Message

Mumbai-: On World Brain Tumour Day 2025, observed globally on Sunday, June 8, the spotlight turns toward an often-overlooked yet life-threatening condition. Established to raise public awareness and promote better understanding, this annual observance is a rallying point for patients, caregivers, doctors, and health advocates to unite for one mission — early detection, effective treatment, and stronger support for those affected by brain tumours.

Brain tumours affect people across all age groups and can have devastating consequences if not diagnosed and treated early. Symptoms are often vague or misinterpreted — chronic headaches, vision disturbances, imbalance, mood changes, or seizures — leading to delays in diagnosis. This year’s theme, “Think Fast, Act Early”, reinforces the importance of recognizing warning signs and seeking medical help promptly.

Dr. Ashwin Borkar, Consultant Neurosurgeon at Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road

Dr. Ashwin Borkar, Consultant Neurosurgeon at Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road, emphasized the critical need for timely intervention says,

 “Brain tumours don’t always come with loud warnings. Many start with subtle symptoms that are easy to ignore or misattribute. But early diagnosis can be life-saving. On World Brain Tumour Day, we urge people to listen to their bodies, get regular health check-ups, and never overlook persistent symptoms. Awareness and timely imaging can make all the difference.”

Globally, brain tumours account for a significant portion of neurological diseases, with approximately 300,000 new cases diagnosed each year. In India, around 40,000 to 50,000 cases are reported annually — and rising. While some tumours are benign and treatable, others are malignant and aggressive, requiring complex neurosurgical care.

Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road, is among the healthcare leaders offering advanced neurodiagnostic and surgical services. Equipped with high-resolution MRI (1.5 tesla), intraoperative neuroimaging systems and a team of expert neurosurgeons, the hospital provides comprehensive care tailored to each patient’s condition.

On the occasion of World Brain Tumour Day, Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road is also organizing a public awareness drive that includes free neurological consultations, educational seminars, and outreach programs in residential areas. The goal: empower people with knowledge and reduce fear through facts.

Dr. Ashwin Borkar, Consultant Neurosurgeon at Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road further added, “The fight against brain tumours isn’t just clinical — it’s also social. Breaking the stigma, improving access to specialized care, and supporting caregivers are just as important. Together, we can build a community that’s informed, compassionate, and proactive.”

World Brain Tumour Day serves as a call to governments, healthcare systems, and communities worldwide to invest more in neurological research, improve screening protocols, and support survivors and families navigating life after diagnosis.
