These days’ mobile phones have become a solution to most of
our problems. For women who are expecting babies, a mobile app named ‘Mum2Be’
is becoming very popular. This application was launched for such women who can
seek help through this app.
Mum2Be is an advanced mobile app that will calculate the due
date of delivery of the child. This extraordinary app will also help in education
to-be-mothers about the schedule and information about tests, checkups,
vaccinations and the nearest check-up centers.
Apart from this, the app will also send reminders about all
these tests, vaccinations and even guide about the nearest government health centers
and delivery hospitals in the district, where medicines, tests and check-ups
are done for free.This app is available for free at Google Play Store (for
android users) and on App Store (for iphone users) by typing “Mum2Be”.
Working of the app
After downloading the app, the user one will have to fill the
information about the ‘last menstrual cycle’, it will calculate the due date of
delivery. The schedule of ‘antenatal care’ (ANC) check-ups, tests, vaccinations
to be conducted for all trimesters of the pregnancy will also be there.To
easily differentiate, the alerts of check-ups, tests and vaccinations are also
in different colors. Information regarding the basic medicines, precautions to
be taken during pregnancy will also be there. The mobile app also provides
information linked to all government hospitals, health centers and dispensaries
of the Ludhiana district.
Expecting mothers would also get reminders about these tests,
check-ups and vaccinations during the time of pregnancy. The app will keep
sending reminders till the time the expectant mother gets her tests done, gets immunized
or takes medicine.
Till now, the locations of only Ludhiana district have been
fed in the app but this mobile app can be used pan India. The users don’t need
internet, repeated sign in or registration for this app. However, for using GPS
maps for locations of the government health centers, dispensaries and hospitals
nearby internet is required.
A group of women under the supervision of ADC ApneetRiyait
developed this app. The mobile app would help in getting the number of deaths
during pregnancy or at the time of delivery.The maternal mortality in India is
a cause of concern. Women don’t take proper care regarding immunization, tests,
medicines and diet during pregnancy which later creates problems for them.
Deficiency of iron, blood, blood pressure and other problems develop due to
this. This app would also send advance reminders about user’s delivery date so
that she can get admitted to a hospital on time.
