Connections and innovations for maternal & neonatal health
This site is a hub for innovation in global maternal and neonatal health. Simply put, we would like to become a 'go to' site on connections, technologies, techniques and ideas for global maternal health. The Maternova hub will connect midwives, ob/gyns, nurses, and policymakers working in the most remote areas of the globe. We will connect people within countries and across countries on the issues of innovation, mapping providers and facilitating communication between providers.
1. First on our agenda is a dynamic, visual collection of all the tools that might save the lives of mothers and infants--those on the market and in R&D
2. Second, we will offer maps, country by country, that allow maternal/neonatal health providers to map themselves
3. Third, these maps will allow professional networks within and between countries using mobile phone and sms-based technology connecting
midwives, ob/gyns and other clinicians and policymakers on vital issues
Unbelievably, pregnancy is a leading cause of death amongst women in the developing world of childbearing age.
