Article Synopsis
  • Poor maternal and child health outcomes in Nigeria can potentially be improved using mobile health (mHealth) solutions like patient-held smart cards, which were assessed for their acceptability among pregnant women attending antenatal services.
  • Focus group discussions with 35 pregnant women revealed that most participants found the smartcards beneficial for storing medical information and reducing wait times, although they identified costs related to health services as a significant barrier.
