Problem
Postpartum haemorrhage remains a leading cause of maternal mortality, with bleeding often progressing from stable to fatal in roughly two hours. Clinicians frequently lack timely warning when a bleed begins, especially in under-resourced settings where continuous monitoring is unavailable and the danger is recognized only after the mother's condition has deteriorated.
Solution
Aya Mama is a band and ward system that continuously monitors mothers after delivery and detects postpartum haemorrhage at its earliest onset. The system transmits real-time alerts to clinical staff so they can act while there is still time for treatment, referral, and blood transfusion. The platform is designed for use on maternity wards, filling the critical gap between when a mother reaches a hospital and when dangerous bleeding is noticed. By shifting from reactive response to early warning, Aya Mama gives clinicians a practical window to intervene before the condition becomes fatal.
Target Audience
Primary users are obstetric clinicians and maternity ward staff in hospitals across Rwanda and Kenya, with health systems and hospitals serving as pilot partners for validation and deployment.
