## Overview
Pregnancy-related complications remain a **major cause of maternal and infant mortality** in developing countries. In Ghana, about **12% of female deaths** (ages 15-49) over the past five years are attributed to pregnancy complications, with **62% of these deaths** resulting from delayed or inadequate medical intervention.
This project delivers an **IoT-based wearable device** paired with a **mobile application** and **AI predictive models** to remotely monitor pregnant women's vital signs and predict complications like **preeclampsia** and **anemia** before they become life-threatening.

## The Problem
```
WHY THIS MATTERS
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 40% of pregnancies worldwide face health risks (WHO) │
│ 62% of maternal deaths in Ghana = delayed intervention │
│ 50%+ fatalities could be avoided with early detection │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
Pregnant women in Ghana face barriers to regular antenatal care including:
- **Long travel distances** to healthcare facilities
- **High transportation costs** and consultation fees
- **Limited availability** of diagnostic tools in rural hospitals
- **Overburdened healthcare providers** with high patient-to-doctor ratios
- **No digital alert systems** to warn of impending health risks
