BLISS4Midwives
BLISS4Midwives is part of the TNO programme BLISS and aims to combine existing point-of-care diagnostics into one suitcase-like modular device that will allow midwives in Ghana to test on the spot whether a pregnant woman suffers from e.g. (pre)eclampsia and possibly other complications.
The device is also fitted with a (tablet) screen and software that provide user instructions and decision support (whether a referral to hospital is needed).
The project aims to produce 10 prototypes and train at least 20 midwives in the use of it.
The device will be tested in Ghana on at least 500 pregnant women.
