Co-designing Community-based ICTs Interventions to Enhance Maternal and Child Health in South Africa
| Abstract | Digital interventions to support maternal and child health (MCH) are widespread. Yet, the impact of these interventions in low-income communities is limited. We believe this is in part due to the top-down nature of digital health development, and propose to take a participatory and community-centred approach to this domain. We will form a multidisciplinary, cross-cultural, and cross-geographical consortium of researchers, technology designers, healthcare professionals and community stakeholders, policy makers, and grassroots citizens' organizations to explore the potential of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to enhance maternal and child health and wellbeing during the antenatal and postnatal period in South Africa. |
