UmeedSay
Antenatal care
Pakistan
In Pakistan the Micro Health Franchise System Umeed Say lowers maternal health costs and improves midwife services with technology. UmeedSay has developed multiple mHealth systems for midwives, including a clinical decision support system, electronic medical record access for doctors and midwives, and a system for registering, monitoring, and evaluating the work of community midwives . Midwives can use the mobile application to send SMS messages on pre- and post-natal data. This data is relayed to a central clinic where it can be reviewed by specialists, who can also facilitate diagnosis of complications. Umeed Say’s mobile app also allows access to patients’ background information and lab tests, and can connect midwives to emergency services
