Ｓｈａｒｉｎｇ ｔｈｅ Ｆｕｔｕｒｅ Saving Mothers with Smartphone Apps: Tanzania
Tanzania is currently struggling with a high maternal mortality rate. Kawabata Yasuo and his team have developed an app for expectant mothers that they hope will help solve this issue.
In the East African country of Tanzania, the maternal mortality rate is high, with 11,000 deaths per year. In order to address this issue, a Japanese startup, after four years of collaborative research with Kyoto University and Hiroshima University, has developed mobile apps for midwives called "Mobile Chart App" and for pregnant women called "Maternal and Child Health Handbook App." The goal is to increase the participation rate of pregnant women in health checkups by utilizing these apps. The project, which began in the central city of Dar es Salaam, is being followed.
