Pregnancy SafeDelivery App
Application software download free Android
The Pregnency SafeDelivery app is a mobile phone tool to help women during pregnancy and childbirth. It provides a detailed overview of the ovulation and development of the unborn baby day by day, as well as the ability to monitor contractions with a built-in timer. It also offers a number of useful tools, such as a symptom tracker and a placenta viewer. The user can also send a report of the results to a doctor.
Developed in collaboration between Maternity Foundation, University of Copenhagen and the University of Southern Denmark, this app gives skilled birth attendants direct and instant access to clinical guidelines on Basic Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care. The instruction videos are based on international guidelines by the WHO (World Health Organisation), ALSO (International Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics), FIGO (The International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics) and RCOG (The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists). The app is available in Global English, French and Arabic as well as in 18 country versions that align with national guidelines, and contains simple animated instructions, descriptions of practical procedures, drug lists and action cards. The App works offline once downloaded, making it easy to use in remote settings without a stable internet connection.
The app is being rolled out in partnership with Laerdal Global Health, which has 10 years of experience delivering simulation-based training for midwives and other health care workers globally through its Helping Mothers Survive and Helping Babies Survive training programs. The App is being merged with the scenarios used in these simulations, so that frontline health workers can use the same tool to prepare for and respond to COVID-19.
