Summary
This study introduces a new digital system for antenatal care, offering pregnant women web-based records, self-care journals, and personalized health education. The system aims to improve pregnancy management and health outcomes through enhanced accessibility and engagement.
Area of Science:
- Digital Health
- Maternal Health
- Health Informatics
Background:
- Antenatal care is crucial for maternal and fetal well-being.
- Existing digital tools for pregnancy lack comprehensive features.
- There is a need for accessible, informative, and engaging antenatal care solutions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate a novel antenatal care information system.
- To provide pregnant women with web-based maternity records and self-care tools.
- To deliver personalized antenatal health education based on gestational age.
Main Methods:
- Design and implementation of a web-based service and multi-platform application.
- Inclusion of three key features: web-based maternity records, self-care journals, and automated health education.
- Usability and acceptance evaluation through a survey of pregnant women.
Main Results:
- The developed system integrates maternity records with explanations of tests.
- Self-care journals enable tracking of vital health metrics and symptoms.
- Automated health education is tailored to the specific stage of pregnancy.
Conclusions:
- The proposed antenatal care information system offers a user-friendly platform for pregnant women.
- The system's usability and acceptance were positively evaluated by users.
- Further research should include clinical outcomes to demonstrate the system's effectiveness in improving antenatal care.

Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...
