Usability testing of mobile applications to support midwifery care
SessionPoster Session 2
DescriptionMaternal and neonatal mortality remain a significant global health challenge, with preventable complications leading to devastating outcomes. This study explores how the Global Library of Women’s Medicine (GLOWM) and other open-source electronic medical records may be used to transform clinical decision-making, enhance risk prediction, and improve maternal survival rates. The Global Library of Women’s Medicine (GLOWM) is a curated digital repository of evidence-based clinical research that has been developed by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) specifically as a resource for midwives and nurses in low-and middle income countries (LMIC). This poster highlights the potential of digital health solutions in bridging healthcare disparities and describes the usability of multiple tools that are useful to support community care givers. A comparison of the usability of 2 other open-source records systems is described and analyzed – OpenEMR.org and OpenMRS.org. The attention paid to evaluation and usability offers a unique view into use and usefulness of mobile information technology. To identify the interface usability issues, heuristic evaluation of the mobile applications were completed. Led by 2 masters students, two undergraduate students and one high school student conducted in the research.
