Project will offer education and prenatal care and alert doctors of potential problems during pregnancy
SÃO PAULO -
The SIM Maternity mobile app is available on Android and iOS systems for all pregnant women in Campina Grande. Through the app, pregnant women can access educational materials, fill out follow-up forms, receive relevant alerts and messages and record the progress of their pregnancy.
"The SUS (Sistema Unico de Saúde) is the largest public health system in the world with approximately 70% of the Brazilian population depending on it. Our goal with the SIM program is to demonstrate how mobile technology can support a system as large and complex as the SUS to become more efficient. To do so, we are looking for a topic as relevant as pregnant women and in particular at-risk pregnant women", adds
Data collected by the app will be analyzed and shared with the healthcare providers through the project's web-based platform. Having access to this information will allow the SIM Maternity project and healthcare teams to monitor the health of the pregnant women, as well as extract reports and health indicators. Through the app, key actions can be taken by the SIM Maternity health team such as: register observations, notify the medical team, review the patient's medical history and access data and information submitted by the patient. In addition, the health team is notified whenever there is a potential health alert.
"Currently, most prenatal consultations are carried out by the family health team in primary health care units. These units have numerous other tasks in addition to performing this role. The use of mobile health tools brings opportunities to improve the monitoring, in addition to functioning as a true portal for health education", says
Qualcomm's Artificial Intelligence team will perform data mining and trend analysis to identify patterns in order to enhance the analysis of the information sent to the health teams. The results of the analysis will be made available on the platform to the staff of the
The platform, which includes the website and the mobile application, was developed by MTM Tecnologia especially for SIM Maternity project, with the goal of improving maternal health by supporting patients through remote monitoring, providing access to educational resources, and increasing the communication between healthcare professionals and their patients.
"Prenatal care plays an important role in preventing complications in pregnancy. We are excited to bring wireless technologies to the city of Campina Grande to help with early detection and close follow-up of risk situations for pregnant women," said
