Project funded by the MRC-AHRC Global Public Health: Partnership Awards scheme.
Maternal health is one of the foremost public health challenges in India. This partnership aims to co-inquire what roles Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) might play in enhancing and shaping (individual and community-based) socio-cultural practices around pregnancy care in India.
We have brought together a multi-disciplinary, cross-cultural, and cross-geographical group of researchers, technology designers, public & community health workers, and grassroots citizens' organisations to explore the opportunities afforded by ICTs to help identify, promote and/or restrict the consequences of (un)healthy practices and lifestyle behaviors in the health of pregnant women, the newborns, and the community.
