MamaIron+

Mama Iron+ helps expecting mothers stay on top of the small daily habits that support a healthy pregnancy — taking iron supplements, drinking enough water, and getting to antenatal (ANC) appointments — even when there's no signal. WHY MAMA IRON+ Anemia in pregnancy is common and often goes unnoticed until a clinic visit catches it. Mama Iron+ was built with health workers in Nyeri County to make the daily routine easier to keep, and to keep clinics and community health promoters (CHPs) looped in without adding to a mother's workload. KEY FEATURES Reminders that work offline • Gentle prompts for water and iron supplement times, set to a schedule you choose — never a fixed claim about when you "should" take them. • Reminders keep firing even with no internet connection or airtime. • A quiet nudge if a reminder passes with nothing logged — never a scolding one. Track your progress • Log water intake, supplement doses, weight and symptoms in seconds. • See your streak and a simple calendar of the days you've kept up — progress you can see, with no red marks or shame for a quiet day. • Everything you log while offline syncs automatically once you're back online. Stay ahead of appointments • Your ANC visit schedule, with reminders a day or two before so you're not caught off guard. • Appointment changes from your clinic reach you automatically. Talk to your nurse or CHP • Message your assigned nurse directly with questions or concerns. • Community health promoters can follow your adherence trends without ever seeing your clinical details — that boundary is enforced by design, not just policy. Learn as you go • Short, locally reviewed articles on nutrition, danger signs, and what to expect at each stage of pregnancy. • Danger-sign guidance is always available, online or off — it's never hidden behind a filter. Built for how phones are actually used here • Works fully offline: track, log, and review your history with no data connection. • Available in English and Kikuyu, with more languages reviewed by real speakers before they go live. • Low data use — the app is designed for 2G/3G networks and shared or older Android phones. YOUR PRIVACY Your health information is yours. Notifications never show clinical details on your lock screen, and only your care team can see the details behind your tracking — never just anyone who picks up your phone. Community health promoters see your engagement, never your clinical data. Mama Iron+ is a support tool for daily habits and communication with your care team. It does not replace medical advice — always follow your nurse or clinic's guidance for your specific care.
