Developing Mobile Based Application to Support Pregnant Women

Yagiten Pvt. Ltd

The amakomaya (Mother’s Love) project has designed and deployed an Android application (Amakomaya) to be used by the rural pregnant women of Nepal. The application provides localized information relating to the prenatal, natal and postnatal periods of pregnancy. This information has enabled women to learn about the changes their body will undergo and how the baby will develop. The project wishes to see an increased number of these women making good use of the Health Post’s facilities. Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs) had been trained to use the application and run a door-to-door service registering those women that are pregnant. We will monitor and record our progress so that it will be possible to replicate this project in other areas both nationally and internationally.
