14. WHY US?
PICTURE HERE
Talking Points:
UNICEF has never addressed this area of need/users
Whats the landscape? Who's doing what and where can we
address the need?
28. SELF EMPOWERMENT
- Putting health in own hands
- Allows women to follow up with care regardless of their
location from the aid camps.
- Help reduce stress on local health network by self-monitoring
+ employing local health volunteers, NGO partners, etc.
29. Old Notes
THIS IS FROM ELLIE's NOTE
STILL PRESERVING THEM FOR REFERENCE
30. M.A.M.A Hotline:
(Mothers And Medical Aide)
Vulnerable Populations:
• Pregnant women are one of the most high risked
populations within a disaster.
• Unlike other victims, their needs are specific (pre-natal
vitamins, nutrition, etc)
Previous Efforts/Effectiveness/Compelling
• Emergency disaster response medical kits (gloves, towel,
soap, sterile razor and thread to tie off the umbilical cord).
• Comb through camps to find pregnant women
In Haiti, many aide workers found it difficult to
distribute emergency pregnancy kits because
the identification process within camps was
cumbersome.
31. M.A.M.A Hotline:
(Mothers And Medical Aide)
New Plan
• Use mobile technology instead to collect information and
distribute aide.
Population intended?
• Pregnant women
What are the requirements for users?
• mobile phone
What motivation is there for the user to use it?
• a faster method to provide necessary medical help and
tools more efficiently
• prevent death and disease
