These health decisions can be effective when they are based on information andrnknowledge. In Ethiopia, health information is available mostly in health facilities and sometimesrnpromoted via radio and TV. Such health promotion can be further supplemented by the use ofrnmHealth solution. rnThe intent of this thesis was to design and develop an Android App and website platforms usingrnAndroid studio and WordPress respectively to educate women about maternal and child healthcarernusing the official language (Amharic) so that they can make informed and effective health decision.rnThe content of both platforms is based on the World Health Organization recommendation andrnEthiopian Ministry of Health training manual on prenatal, birth and postnatal care intervention.rnDuring the development of both platforms, emphasis has been given to the danger signs of thernmother and newborn; pregnancy, birth and postpartum complications; and the importance ofrndelivering at a health facility in order to empower women and seek on-time medical carernthroughout the continuum of care. rnThe mobile App calculates the due date using the Ethiopian calendar and sends notifications aboutrnprenatal visits, fetus development, postnatal visits, and immunizations.
