Philips to Introduce Mobile Obstetrics Monitoring Service in Indonesia

Royal Philips has announced the full-scale commercial implementation of its mobile obstetrics monitoring service in West Sumatra, Indonesia, following an agreement with the Sijunjung Regency.

A smartphone-based digital health service, the solution aims to identify expectant mothers who are at high risk of pregnancy-related complications.

The goal is to reduce maternal mortality rates, Philips says.

The solution will be introduced in other regions in Indonesia, India and Africa later this year. — Michael Cipriano
