Hesperian’s comprehensive app on pregnancy and birth contains a wealth of information on:

• how to stay healthy during pregnancy
• how to recognize danger signs during pregnancy, birth, and
  after birth
• what to do when a danger sign arises
• when to refer a woman to emergency care
• instructions for community health workers with step-by-step explanations such as “How to take blood pressure,” “How to treat someone in shock,” “How to stop bleeding.”

For iPhone and iPod Touch: Download the app for free from the iTunes store.  

For Android: Download the beta release of the Android version for free from the Google Play app store.

As this is a beta release, we are aware that it still needs a little work in places. We welcome feedback and code contributions to help improve the experience. Please reach out to us at mobile@hesperian.org, and you can find the source code here.

Don’t have an iPhone or Android? If you don’t have an iPhone or iPod Touch, you can preview the app here. (Please keep in mind that the app was built to be viewed on a mobile device, so please forgive us if the quality is not perfect.)
