Description
Prasenjit De and Manas Ranjan Pradhan review mobile health tools for mothers and newborns in a 2023 paper. Deaths of mothers and babies remain high in poorer countries, where care is hard to reach. Health workers increasingly use phones to counsel, remind, and follow up with mothers.
The review searched three databases for studies from 2012 to 2022 across Asia and Africa, keeping 25 papers. Designs varied widely, but most found that phone-based support improved use of antenatal, delivery, and postnatal care. Reported problems included misuse of tools, gaps between rich and poor users, and uneven phone ownership. The authors urge policy makers to expand such services while guarding the privacy and safety of health data.
