mHealth for Improving Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health under BRAC’s Manoshi Project

(2009 – 2012)

Background

A mHealth system incorporating an existing patient management system designed to strengthen BRAC’s maternal, neonatal, and child health (MNCH) programme. Using the system, pregnant women and children are registered and followed up at regular intervals to do a risk assessment (using automated algorithms), doctors can see the high-risk cases to provide customized feedback and advice on care, and all patients get an electronic medical record with all care cycles and referral data.
