About one in 10 pregnant women worldwide face mental health disorders like depression during their pregnancies, according to WHO.
The Medical Faculty Associates will participate in a trial of an app for new mothers to track their mental health and expand accessible medical resources for pregnancy and childbirth.
Officials announced last month that Babyscripts, a company that conducts research and develops internet-connected monitoring devices and apps for maternal health, is developing the module to aid new mothers. Experts in maternal mental health said mothers could use the app to screen for symptoms of mental illness like depression and physical symptoms like changes in blood pressure, but the technology should also include a feature to connect patients to mental health care providers if any symptoms become severe.
