Information about the project
Project title *
Reducing Maternal and Newborn Deaths
Title acronym
ReMiND
Description *
Through the ReMiND Project government community health workers (called ASHA) use basic cell phones running Dimagi’s open source CommCare software. The software includes pregnancy, postpartum, infant and referral modules. The content has been developed and adapted by CRS and its implementing partner, Vatsalya, in consultation with district and state health authorities. These modules use audio and visual prompts to help ASHA systematically counsel and assess women and babies for any danger signs during home visits before and after birth. Each module also contains in-depth counseling forms that systematically guide ASHA as they counsel pregnant and postpartum women and their families about key MNCH practices.
