Kenya will deploy an AI-driven platform that will collate information on pregnant women, mothers and newborns to help monitor care more effectively and identify issues earlier.
According to the Digital Health Agency (DHA), the platform will consolidate Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCAH) information from hospital systems, community health records and reporting platforms. The platform will cover services, including antenatal care, childbirth, postnatal care, immunisation, family planning and maternal deaths.
“Facility electronic medical record (EMR) systems, donor reporting processes and community-facing communication channels operate largely in isolation, limiting real-time visibility for the DHA and its users, such as the Social Health Authority (SHA) and Kenya Medical Supplies Authority,” the DHA said.
