Abstract:

Janani Suraksha Yojna is the scheme introduced by the Government of India for safe motherhood and to reduce neo natal mortality by promoting institutional delivery among rural women. It provides cash assistance to women other than offering pre-delivery and post-delivery care. The Government of India coordinates with the community health workers instituted by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare called Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) to help the pregnant women in getting the necessary services. The aim of this project is to create a smart system that can help the Primary Health Centers and the ASHA workers to effectively track the pregnant women and assist them through technology. The use of mobile devices to get timely assistance related to medication, doctor visits, dos and don’ts etc., in the form of videos would greatly help the women to take better care of themselves and in turn reduces the infant mortality rate. This system integrates all such information in one place and gives a better visualization for the different stake holders like the doctors, patients, health care workers and the government officials about the effectiveness of implementation of the scheme.
