TELE-EDUCATIVO

Angola is the world's second most fertile country. Angola is also the world's sixth-most populous country in terms of births per year ( Statista Infographics ). In Angola, however, for every 100,000 births, 241 women died in 2017. ( worldbank.org). There is only one nurse for 1,000 people, and there are only 6,019 doctors for 30,000 people.

Our software is designed to minimize wait times and the need to go to health facilities, thereby reducing maternal and child mortality in Angola. Our goal is to lead the patient through prevention and treatment with tailored follow-up and referral options to other health services, using animated movies to educate them and a quiz that allows them to earn rewards if they answer properly (this is an incentive method).

We offer:

informative animated videos with a quiz at the bottom: the more correct answers, the more points, and the one with the most points wins. To ensure that women not only watch the videos, but also remember what they learn from them.

Remote parameter monitoring: This will aid in early detection of warning signs - machine that detects anemia at home - machine that automatically measures pulse and blood pressure at home - machine that automatically measures oxygen level at home - machine that automatically measures sugar level at home 

The possibility of lending equipment to make remote parameter monitoring at home more convenient. 

Pregnancy teleconsultations: Pregnant ladies will not have to leave their homes. 

Pregnant women receive appointment reminders based on their stage of pregnancy, so they don't forget to show up for their appointments.

Our target is girls from 13 to 18 years old who do go to school and women from 18 to 55 who have a steady job. They will be using the app.

But we also have a solution for every community, including those who do not have access to the internet. We will provide them with tablets that will work with solar panels to access all of our content, allowing them to access the same information without the need for the internet at any time. By providing them with straightforward instructions on what they should do at each stage of their pregnancy, To avoid death, women will be able to notice signs earlier and get to the hospital or doctor sooner. If they realize the hazards, they will also attend more prenatal visits and perform all of the tests required during the pregnancy.

Cardiac Nurse: Hypertension affects 30% of the Angolan population, and many people are unaware of it. The nurse will teach pregnant women how to take their blood pressure accurately, spot the indications of cardiac arrest or a stroke, and understand the reasons for hypertension. 

Nurse Educator for Diabetes: The nurse will teach pregnant women with gestational diabetes how to appropriately measure blood sugar levels at home, interpret them, track them regularly, and notice indications of low or high blood sugar levels and how to eat in a healthy way. 

Pediatric Nurse: Acute diarrhea is the second leading cause of death among children in Angola. The Nurse will teach mothers and future mothers how to recognize the early symptoms of acute diarrhea, how to recognize dehydration in babies and small children, how to rehydrate the child at home, how to measure the temperature, how to handle when the baby has a fever, and how to take the baby to the doctor as soon as possible by recognizing the signs earlier, as well as how to resuscitate small children.

Nutritional Nurse for Child and Brain Development: The Nurse will advise moms and future mothers on how to feed small children and design low-cost, nutritious local food education programs for children who are malnourished. 

Midwife 1: In Africa, Angola has one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy. The midwife will teach young girls about sugar daddy awareness, STDs and HIV dangers, and family planning and contraception treatment. 

Midwife 2: This midwife will educate traditional midwives about labor and how to assist expectant women throughout childbirth. The midwife will also educate the new mother about family planning after she has given birth and discuss contraceptive options that are appropriate for the pair. 

between 50 and 100 people

According to Jacob Brower's research from 2020: https://www.jmir.org/2020/8/e1... , they came to the following conclusion: Due to the incentive-based engagement, this health app with reward points drove much greater engagement levels. 

WE ARE INNOVATIVE BECAUSE WE DO NOT ONLY REWARD OUR USERS BUT WE ALSO OFFER THEM POWERFUL KNOWLEDGE AND PROTECTION: 

We have 4 Categories!

For the category: Unwanted Early Pregnancy,
Periods and Contraceptive methods:

 girls can win
the following prizes :

you can win an appointment with the
gynaecologist, two sessions with a lawyer, a tablet,
a cell phone, 1 kit for menstruation, condoms or sanitary pads 

pregnant girls can also have  2 sessions with a lawyer to learn about their rights to receive alimony for their child from the father if they are single ( many young girls are not aware of this )

Reduce maternal mortality and children mortality by 50%

We want to change the mentality of the girls and the women, we want to do this by changing their mentality...and to change their mentality, we have to offer them knowledge and access to learn about their rights.

Then, when the mentality is starting to shift and is open to new knowledge, the behavioral change can start by adapting other behaviors, for example: going to the gynecologist on time, go see a lawyer when needed. Know what is right for the pregnancy and what is not, recognize early symptom risks, go early to the hospital, etc...

Our idea is based on the Transtheoretical model of change behavior
