Community Health Worker Evaluation of Implementing an mHealth Application to Support Maternal Health Care in Rural India

Conclusions: Community health workers found the POM app easy to use, useful, and well-received by women and their families. POM did not improve care through increased knowledge but built capacity by increasing the recognition of the ASHA and ANM as critical members of the continuum of antenatal healthcare within their communities. These findings support the important role that mHealth technologies can play in strengthening health systems to reach rural, remote, and marginalized populations to reduce disparities in health.PMID:34816198 | PMC:PMC8593958 | DOI:10.3389/fgwh.2021.645690
