Sustainable Maternal and Newborn Child Health Initiative

Shahid Yusuaf of Fincon Services with the Poverty Eradication Initiative in Pakistan will pilot test use of the AI-based mobile application Umeed Sey by community midwives to enhance maternal and newborn health services in Pakistan. The mobile app will help participating midwives in registering pregnant women and capturing their current health status and medical history. It will also support effective triage, identifying high-risk pregnancies for timely referral to specialists, and support management of emergency cases, directing them to the appropriate medical facilities. They will monitor and evaluate use of Umeed Sey in the pilot trial, with a focus on gauging its ability to optimize the patient referral process.
