Health Intervention into Routine Antenatal Care to Improve Maternal Health in Uganda

The study aimed to assess the potential benefits of a novel mobile health (mHealth) messaging app, known as SupportMoms –Uganda, for pregnant women in Uganda. This app was designed using behavioral science frameworks to enhance the use of maternity services. The app, known as SupportMoms-Uganda, represents a patient-centered and audio-based solution designed to empower and assist women in accessing essential maternity care services.
