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.

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.
