A much wanted pregnancy can be a happy time, but can also be a time of anxiety and stress, especially when access to healthcare professionals is limited, such as during the current Covid 19 pandemic. Women need a way to monitor the health of their pregnancy, both of themselves and their baby, which is both reliable and gives them positive feedback when things are going well, and a warning when problems may be developing, so that they can seek professional help. Current hospital medical records systems are complex, vary from one maternity unit to another, are difficult for women to understand, and remain the property of the Secretary of State after the pregnancy. We will give women an app on their smartphone which will enable them to input data about their own pregnancy and receive immediate feedback that things are normal or if further investigation is required. It gives every woman reliable information from national guidelines as they apply to her as an individual, i.e. it is person specific and not just generalisations. Importantly, the data will be the woman's own property even after the pregnancy is over, and will be her own personal diary of events, which will also inform care in her next pregnancy. If something starts to go wrong with the pregnancy, this is highlighted in a way that she can show to her midwife/obstetrician, to stimulate appropriate care. This will help prevent problems being overlooked or managed incorrectly, which can sometimes happen. When access to professionals is limited, as in the Covid 19 pandemic, the app provides essential monitoring of the pregnancy, acts as a permanent record, and a source of reference in any emergency where the hospital records are not available.In our market research, we are targeting a broad range of women and groups such as the BAME community. Their feedback can then create a universal appeal to the app so all women have equal access to a high standard of care and knowledge.Being in labour is not only hard work for the mother, it can pose a significant risk to the baby. It is therefore vital that risk factors which have developed during the pregnancy are made known to the woman's caregivers so they can be taken into account when deciding if a baby should be delivered immediately if there are problems. The App provides an effective summary of these risk factors, and can highlight further risk factors that can develop during labour such as meconium staining (baby's poo in the fluid around the baby), fever, and slow progress.

非常想要的怀孕可能是一段快乐的时光，但也可能是一段焦虑和压力的时光，特别是在获得医疗保健专业人员有限的情况下，例如在当前的新冠肺炎大流行期间。妇女需要一种方法来监测自己和婴儿的怀孕健康，这是可靠的，并在事情进展顺利时给他们积极的反馈，并在问题可能出现时发出警告，以便他们可以寻求专业帮助。目前的医院医疗记录系统很复杂，各妇产科各不相同，妇女很难理解，而且在怀孕后仍然是国务大臣的财产。我们将在智能手机上为女性提供一个应用程序，使她们能够输入有关自己怀孕的数据，并立即收到反馈，表明一切正常，或者需要进一步调查。它为每个妇女提供了国家指导方针中的可靠信息，因为这些指导方针适用于她作为个人，即它是针对个人的，而不仅仅是概括性的。重要的是，即使在怀孕结束后，这些数据也将是妇女自己的财产，并将成为她自己的事件日记，这也将为她下一次怀孕提供信息。如果怀孕开始出现问题，这是突出的方式，她可以显示给她的助产士/产科医生，以刺激适当的照顾。这将有助于防止问题被忽视或管理不当，这有时会发生。当接触专业人士的机会受到限制时，如在新冠肺炎大流行中，该应用程序提供必要的妊娠监测，作为永久记录，并在无法获得医院记录的任何紧急情况下作为参考来源。在我们的市场研究中，我们的目标是广泛的女性和群体，如BAME社区。他们的反馈可以为该应用程序创造一个普遍的吸引力，使所有女性都能平等地获得高标准的护理和知识。分娩不仅对母亲来说是一项艰苦的工作，而且可能对婴儿构成重大风险。因此，必须让妇女的照料者了解怀孕期间产生的风险因素，以便在出现问题时决定是否立即分娩婴儿时考虑到这些因素。该应用程序提供了这些风险因素的有效总结，并可以突出显示分娩过程中可能出现的其他风险因素，如胎粪染色（婴儿周围液体中的婴儿粪便），发烧和进展缓慢。
