Imagine if your pregnancy check-ups didn't just track the baby, but also acted as a shield against future chronic diseases. This work creates a digital tool to help doctors spot risks like bad air quality or poor diet early on. It's like adding a preventative health dashboard to a standard clinic visit to stop sickness before it starts.
Urbanization in low-resource settings is increasing risks like air pollution and poor nutrition, but standard pregnancy care ignores these long-term chronic disease triggers.
A prototype of an ANC eRegistry with integrated NCD risk surveillance and a set of digital health tools for environmental monitoring.
If you are a software developer dealing with fragmented patient records — this project developed a prototype of an ANC eRegistry with integrated NCD risk surveillance that streamlines data-driven decision-making.
If you are a hardware provider dealing with low adoption in emerging markets — this project developed environmental monitoring tools for household air pollution exposure during pregnancy to support health interventions.
If you are a consultant dealing with inefficient clinic workflows — this project developed a contextually adapted intervention for urban sites that integrates preventative actions into routine antenatal care.
Based on available project data, there is no specific commercial price listed, though the EU contribution for the research is EUR 4,499,945.
The project is testing the intervention in 4 diverse urban sites to provide evidence for scale-up and integration into national systems.
Based on available project data, specific IP or licensing agreements are not mentioned in the summary.
The project integrates implementation strategies directly into the National Health Information system of Ethiopia.
The project period runs from 2023-12-01 to 2027-11-30.
The consortium is heavily academic, consisting of 8 universities and 3 research institutes across 7 countries. With 0% industry participation and 0 SMEs, the project is currently driven by public research goals rather than commercial interests, led by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health and the Ethiopian Public Health Institute.
