App Makes Life Easier For Pregnant Women In Kenya

The App Allowing Pregnant Women to Visit the Hospital From Their Homes

For an expecting mother who is new to the process, adjusting to the personal changes you are experiencing are not easy. That is why pregnant women are the inspiration for the MimbaBora mobile application that was developed in Kenya. Though the app was originally developed in 2012, it has recently experienced an upsurge of users: going from 100+ downloads four years ago, to 10 times that number by January this year.

How does the app work? MimbaBora was developed by a leading IT company in Kenya in collaboration with certified doctors to help expectant mothers monitor the progress of their pregnancy. With the app, both parents can monitor the growth of their baby week by week. For example, when the baby’s heart forms completely within its little body, its parents are informed. Likewise, when the baby develops facial features in the womb, MimbaBora sends an alert to the baby’s mother. The app does this by accessing details on the pregnancy’s start date and tracking the baby’s progress from scientific information on the usual path of development.

However, tracking the progress of the baby’s development is not the only thing that the app does. In addition, the app is also capable of telling the mothers what changes are going on in their bodies. It gives nutrition guidelines using foods that are available in the person’s vicinity. Most importantly, the app has a feature that allows its users to consult with a medical doctor over the phone and has emergency hotlines set within it in case of a problem.

MimbaBora could very likely be the future of maternal healthcare services in Kenya and eventually, in the rest of the continent as well. It’s acceptance in the society could propel the speed at which technology is embraced in Kenya’s health sector. For pregnant women in Kenya, you can download MimbaBora on the Google Play Store.
