This recognized need to ease the challenges faced by these women and create a user centered solution gave birth to a well-being platform. This revealed that because the existing applications lack personalization of the experience, they have been able to recommend relevant and safe activities, experiences in struggling to engage and motivate pregnant women across their journey, and there was no points and redemption system.

It is this pain, which made the client take up a challenge to develop a holistic well being platform that would eliminate all these pain points and give an empathetic experience to every pregnant woman based on the month/week of the pregnancy.

We built the solution following an exhaustive and user-centered development process. In addition, to address the first order of challenges pertaining to personalization, we worked in a highly sophisticated algorithm that would crunch on the particular month/week of pregnancy of the user and then dish out its users with some tailor-made recommendations and activities for that stage of pregnancy.

We sought prenatal care experts and health professionals advice to guide us and train our minds in making the following recommendations accordingly on activities that would benefit them at the same time keeping them safe. They played an advisory role and presented a prenatal activity expert opinion from this available spectrum of activities that were permissible in pregnancy that held promise of offering maximal benefits on health depending on gestation at that particular moment.

Engagement and motivation were some of the features we devised in the solution. We designed the platform to have a points system as part of gamification elements that would reward users upon completing activities, thus motivating active participation by giving a sense of accomplishment. Besides, designing a user-friendly and intuitive application interface that allows the users sin-free movement across the application with high interest on her pregnancy journey.

The presented mode of development is iterative and working together, refining the platform as user feedback informs it in changes to meet pregnant women’s changing needs. The design sought to keep this solution adaptable, scalable, and compatible with different devices and operating systems towards delivering consistently high-quality experiences for any user.

It also involved incorporating an e-commerce feature where one could be able to sell pregnancy-related products based on the points gained through performing activities indicated. Knowing that this was going to be the single most important aspect of appealing to women, recognizing the fact that it needed to provide easy access to relevant and valuable products, we developed an easy, safe online store in-app where women redeem points.

The implementation of the mobile app dedicated to supporting pregnant women yielded several positive outcomes:

• Improved Well-being: Mothers who used the app significantly felt better due to the personalized advisory, relevant engagements, and easy access to the products they needed. It was through personalized recommendations and monitoring that enabled them to be kept abreast with the current helpful information that was essential for their attention during pregnancy.
• Increased Engagement: Because of the gamification elements such as the points component, the application users were motivated to actively engage in using the application. The doing of the activities and the reward in point offered the sense of accomplishment, hence encouraged the women to stay purposeful by racking up more points through the length of their pregnancy journey. The app succeeded in keeping users consistently engaged and committed to their prenatal well-being.
• Convenient Access to Products: With the integration of the e-commerce platform, a pregnant client could shop with utmost ease without any hitches. She could use points to purchase goods for maternity, prenatal supplements, among other products for pregnancy. This frictionless access to trusted and relevant products was something that added on to the level of convenience and satisfaction of the app users.
• Positive User Feedback: The mobile app received a very encouraging feedback from the users with them pointing especially that it’s easy to use and contained all functionalities available within one user-friendly interface, personalizable recommendations, smooth integration of features. Specifically, their needs during pregnancy were tailored in app such that each of them would be able to do all their actions within the app without much hustle while details about their progress on demand and resources availability was rated very positively.
• Empowered Decision making: The app empowered the pregnant women to take decisions on their prenatal care. By offering personalized guidance, integrated activity recommendations and easier purchase of requisite goods or products allowed a woman to lead her life with full gears towards her well-being and participation in pregnancy. This empowerment fostered a sense of confidence and self-care among users.

Development of the mobile app for control of the course of pregnancy means a state alteration in the attitude of a woman to prenatal care. Support features, e.g. personalized activities monitoring their performance there, scoring system, and making positive community furnished an impression of real non-loneliness to women in this period.

The scope of the app extended beyond physical health but also promoted the emotional wellness of persons and the community at large. The technological innovation of our client added to the experience of pregnancy in that women felt supported, enlightened, and rewarded by reading through as they prepared for the bundle of joy.
