The present project aimed at designing an mHealth system that assists midlevel health workers to provide better maternal health care services by automating the data collection and decision-making process. This paper describes the development process and technical aspects of the system considered critical for possible replication. It also highlights key lessons learned and challenges during implementation. SN - 1472-6947 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/s12911-018-0704-9 DO - 10.1186/s12911-018-0704-9 ID - Shiferaw2018 ER -
