The Problem: 
  • 800 women die every day due to complications of pregnancy and childbirth; almost all of these deaths occur in developing regions.
  • Low-cost labor monitoring tools are underutilized or used incorrectly, and skilled birth attendants are in short supply.

The PartoPen System:
  • Digital pen software that directly addresses barriers facing the correct use of labor monitoring tools in developing countries.
  • Provides (1) audio-based instructions, (2) time-based reminders, and (3) data interpretation and real-time decision support.
