Abstract
Existing research on improving antenatal care—using information and communication technologies and related technology—has focused on mobile phones to support SMS alerts and the implementation of a tool for booking appointments. The SMS alert system is limited in many ways, especially in addressing the conflicts in schedule and time for appointment and visit. Even with the reported tool(s) implemented, activities in the software development process, especially the design specifications, were not correctly followed and documented to justify the solutions proposed. By means of a qualitative research approach, a face-to-face oral interview with both pregnant women and obstetricians and a brainstorming session with the obstetricians were achieved. The chapter approach harnesses course-plotting technology to determine the most suitable obstetrician based on proximity and route with Google Map's aid. The result is presented from both analytical and technical perspectives to prevent and reduce the high rate of maternal and neonatal loss.
