Description

Sanni Yaya at the University of Ottawa is developing and testing a Pre-Natal Management System mobile phone application that is accessible to non-literate groups by using pictographs and communicates emergencies to providers using Geographic Information System in Cameroon. The application is designed as a tool to address maternal mortality and reproductive health amongst rural poor women in Cameroon, by increasing access to maternal and reproductive health services, as well as providing e-vouchers for transportation.
