CareMother

CareMother has three ‘mobile’ arms: human touch points (the health-worker and/or pregnant mother and gynecologist), the smart-phone and the portable kit for doorstep diagnostics. The solution CareMother is to be given to a Primary Health Center. Existing doctors and nurses appointed are trained to use the portable kit and the CareMother mobile application. ANM is to be given a portable kit and a smart-phone with the application. During the first antenatal visit, the nurse records clinical history, conducts tests to measure vital clinical parameters as well as diagnostic tests (e.g. haemoglobin,3 blood sugar, etc.) using the kit. The kit consists of digital point-of-care devices (CE certified) for tests. These tests evaluate haemoglobin, blood pressure, urine protein and sugar, weight, blood glucose, fetal heart rate, fundal height, pulse rate and oxygen saturation.

Auxillary Nurse Midwives (ANMs) often lack the effective tools that enable them to provide the quality Ante Natal Care to the pregnant women who are dependant on Primary Health Care. Also the Medical Officers and the administrators lack the timely data analytics on High Risk Pregnant women to take up necessary Health intervention. CareMother is designed specifically to add value to the Public Health Model and enable the ANMs to provide smart care, Medical Officers to provide timely intervention and adminstrators to take policy level decisions. The project focuses on strengthening the digital skills of the ANMs who can manage their day to day work effectively by providing timely care to the pregnant women. Further they identify the high risk at the early stage with the help of decision support tool in mobile phone. Key focus is to achieve key improvement in Maternal and Child Health indicators in the project area.
