Problem
Maternal and infant mortality rates in Africa, particularly in low-income and remote areas, remain critically high due to limited access to healthcare services, inadequate resources, and insufficient knowledge among community health workers and pregnant women. Many births occur without skilled assistance, and newborns often miss essential vaccinations, leading to preventable deaths.
Solution
HelpMum provides a suite of digital health solutions and resources designed to improve maternal and infant healthcare outcomes in Africa. The core offering includes a vaccination tracker to ensure timely immunizations, AI-powered chatbots providing pregnancy and vaccination information, and an e-learning platform offering training for community birth attendants. HelpMum also distributes Clean Birth Kits containing essential supplies for safe and hygienic deliveries, and empowers women through training and economic opportunities. These solutions aim to bridge the gap in access to quality healthcare, reduce preventable deaths, and empower communities with knowledge and resources.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes pregnant women, nursing mothers, community health workers, and healthcare providers in low-income and remote areas of Africa, particularly in Nigeria.
