“Let ICT save our mothers for our better future!” The project “Remote Patient Monitoring System” is a low-cost patient monitoring system which provides point-of-care decision support to rural women in Pakistan in order to reduce the alarming rates of maternal and infant mortality. The system gathers the physiological data of pregnant women using self-designed wearable medical sensors and transmits them via mobile phones to a remote web server in a main hospital. The data are stored in an electronic medical database and allows an intelligent clinical decision support system to scan for anomalies. A medical consultant can access the generated inferences on his smart phone and give a specialized opinion about the patient. The Remote Patient Monitoring System is envisioned to act as a catalyst for social change by improving the health of mothers and children through information exchange between medical consultants and patients. The proper implementation of this system, could guarantee a reliable, safe and efficient maternal care routine.
