Biography
Dr. Matthew Mitts is a Maternal–Fetal Medicine fellow at Yale School of Medicine and Yale New Haven Hospital, where he cares for patients and families with high-risk pregnancies, including hypertensive disorders, diabetes, fetal anomalies, and placenta accreta spectrum. His research focuses on clinical and policy strategies to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality, particularly in labor and delivery and in the management of chronic disease in pregnancy. He is developing work in personalized obstetric care that integrates wearable health data with clinical outcomes to improve early risk stratification and guide intervention. Dr. Mitts completed his obstetrics and gynecology residency at Baylor College of Medicine, where he was elected administrative chief resident and was active in medical education and resident teaching. He earned his medical degree from the University of North Texas Health Science Center and a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Trinity University.
