GloCalMom is an app targeted for families with pregnant mothers and young children in Africa.
It teaches parents about correct nutrition and basic health care. It features short messages with pictures from Africa coupled with checklists, simple videos and an electronic growth chart and vaccination card.
The application allows for target specific education. Checklists will find the problematic areas for the families, whereafter the application will automatically call for the relevant videos.
A vaccination card makes it easy to follow the vaccination schedule and ensures that the data is not lost.
Growth curves make it easy to follow the growth of the child.
This version of GloCalMom is available in English and Swahili with an update with French coming soon.
The videos are available in English, French, Swahili, Portuguese, Amhara, Luganda, Jopadhola, Chewa, Yao and Wolof.
Videos can be streamed online or downloaded into your phone.
