Mobile Application Can Be an Effective Tool for Reduction of Maternal Mortality
Mobile Application Can Be an Effective Tool for Reduction of Maternal Mortality Project started: Project End: Publication status: Published Brief description: Partograph is a time tested tool recommended for monitoring of labour, early detection of complications of labour and it plays an important role in reduction of maternal mortality in worldwide. But Substantial underuse of paper Partograph has raised an important question about the effectiveness of this tool in low- and middle-income countries. To overcome all the barriers of use of paper Partograph we innovate a mobile application named “Life Curve”, which is an easier, efficient and cost effective

Comparative Analysis of Life Curve Mobile Application: an Easier Alternative to Existing Traditional Paper Partograph
Comparative Analysis of Life Curve Mobile Application: an Easier Alternative to Existing Traditional Paper Partograph Project started: Project End: Publication status: Published Brief description: Approximately 303,000 maternal deaths occurred globally in 2015, of which 99% occurred in the developing countries1. On an average 239 women die per 100,000 live births every year in developing countries2. Majority portion of this maternal death are seen in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia1. Thus Maternal mortality ratio continues to be the major index of the widening discrepancy in the level of care and the outcome of reproductive health between the advanced and developing
