Prevent Maternal Mortality Using Mobile Technology
Status unconfirmed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Post-Partum
In brief
Black women who reside in a rural area are at highest risk for maternal morbidity and mortality due to a combination of social and structural causes. The postpartum period is the most critical yet most neglected phase for preventing suboptimal or fatal maternal health outcomes. The goal of this project is to use a mobile app to provide personalized support and improve the lives of women during the early postpartum period. The information the study team gathers will help educate women and all who support them about the need to seek postpartum care and the impact postpartum care can have on pregnancy-related complications. Participation in this research requires taking part in a focus group discussion which will allow participants to share or the person that supports the participant's story and experience with postpartum complications and willingness to use and desired features of a postpartum mobile app.
