Save-Me&Mum: An E-Healthcare Solution to Save Algerian Pregnant Women


Description

In recent years, we have heard about noticeable number of deaths among Algerian pregnant women that died before giving birth to their babies. Either this was mainly due to the overloaded hospitals in the Algerian big cities, such as the capital Algiers, or the lack of medical staff in the southern cities. In both cases, the pregnant woman should have the useful information about the nearest hospital where she could be accepted and taken care of. Our project deals with that issue and proposes a solution by which the pregnant women could get on-demand statistics about services availability within hospitals that are near to their local hospital. The solution consists of two main parts. One part is the server that is situated in the hospital and carries the vital information regarding all local cases of pregnant women. In addition, the hospital’s server gets statistical data of availability from other hospitals.
The second part consists of a mobile application that runs over the women’s mobile device. The application connects to the local hospitals server after a successful authentication, in order to get on-demand statistics that would help that pregnant woman to decide about the nearest and most available hospital where she could deliver her baby safely.
