Mobile Obstetrics Monitoring (MOM) as a model for community-based antenatal care delivery in a low-resource setting
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Philips Mobile Obstetrics Monitoring (MOM) is a software solution that allows community healthcare workers to perform antenatal risk stratification, receive diagnostic assistance, and assess a patient’s progress via a mobile device to enhance maternal care in community settings. With MOM, ObGyns and midwives jointly review and manage each case, facilitating timely referral of the patient to an appropriate healthcare center for further management if needed. All the above analysis and inferences are possible through the review of data made available in MOM.
