Learning the ABCs of pregnancy and newborn care through mobile technology.

Entsieh, Angela Afua LU ; Emmelin, Maria LU and Odberg Pettersson, Karen LU (2015) In Global Health Action 8.
Abstract
The diffusion of mobile phones in low- and middle-income countries has taken place faster than any other infrastructural development. Mobile Midwife, a mobile application implemented in Ghana in 2010, sends timely messages in local languages to registered expectant mothers and new parents. The field of mobile health (mHealth) is severely underresearched, yet it can be an alternative for improving health systems and the ways in which health services are delivered.
