DEVELOPMENT OF MOBILE APPLICATION FOR HEALTHY MATERNAL BEHAVIOR IN ORDER TO REDUCE FETAL MORTALITY

Abstract

Pregnant women are not sufficiently analyzed in scientific studies, which leads to deficiencies in evidence-based treatment guidelines. There are more than two billion smartphone users in the world, which allows researchers to easily and inexpensively conduct large-scale studies using mobile applications, especially among pregnant women, whose use is extremely high, especially as an information channel. This is the first application for pregnancy research, that is, a popular application for them, for self-monitoring and training of expectant mothers. Due to the large-scale and simplified collection of data obtained through surveys, using the application, we strive to improve our understanding of the factors contributing to a healthy pregnancy, both for the mother and the developing fetus. In Kazakhstan, there are many mobile applications that provide only basic data, such as a reminder of a meeting with a doctor, a list of medical institutions, nearest pharmacies, surveys of consumers of medical services, etc. And our application is different in that pregnant women will receive useful information in addition to monitoring, as well as answers to their questions, that is, recommendations on their questions. And also this application will be sent for our country, namely for our mentality, but in the future we are considering, by improving this application, to try to launch them abroad.
