By supporting us you will directly be providing Khushi Baby health records (digital necklaces) to tens of thousands of mothers and their babies in rural Udaipur so we can track their health to the last mile.
For just 75 INR (just over $1) donated, one mother or baby will receive a digital necklace that will allow community health workers to reliably provide them due care based on an accurate and accessible medical history.
What do we do?
We're Khushi Baby, and we want to close the world’s maternal and child health care gap at the last mile.
Two years ago, we designed a system that makes medical history wearable. Mothers and their infants get a necklace that stores a copy of their data digitally. Health workers can read and update this data at the point of care, without needing to be connected to the internet, by simply scanning the necklace. Health workers use the app to collect and act upon verifiable patient health records, and later send this data at the end of the day to health administrators who use our dashboard for decision making and community engagement.
What have we done so far?
Thanks to our first successful 2014 Kickstarter campaign that raised $31,500, Khushi Baby rolled out a pilot project in 2015, tracking 1500 children and over 15,000 vaccination events. The project was also made possible by winning Yale's 2014 Thorne Prize for Social Innovation in Health, and Johns Hopkins Future Health System’s Young Research Grant.
The preliminary results from this fieldwork were very positive. We have seen the median time decrease from one month to less than 60 hours per child, and we have good evidence showing the necklace was better retained than the paper card and more widely discussed. This means there is potential that the necklace can become a talking point within the community to increase awareness in pockets where demand for immunization may be low.
So, what now?
We’ve been hard at work redesigning our system from the ground up to go from collecting information on just infant vaccines to covering the entire maternal and child health spectrum, starting with pregnancy and family planning.
Now, we are ready to put our newly designed system to the test.
In order to receive further validation, we are going to implement the Khushi Baby System on a larger scale. We are moving into 300+ villages with our 2.0 system in September, this time with the District Government of Udaipur.
That means over 33,000 mothers and children will encounter the KB system by the end of 2017.
Over 100 health workers and health admins will use our system this fall. And this represents a step towards our larger vision as the Udaipur District follows national guidelines upheld by Districts throughout India. We aim to to create the most comprehensive and secure mobile health platform for maternal and child health not only for Rajasthan, but for the world.
