Khushi Baby
A digital necklace that monitor medical history for the health care of mothers and children
Khushi Baby (KB) is a mobile app for community health workers that interfaces with a digital necklace worn by patients via Near Field Communication, or NFC. The patient record data is synced to the cloud and displayed on our analytics dashboard, where insights can be acted upon by health officials. More than just another approach to digitize the record keeping process, the Khushi Baby system presents a novel community engagement platform; it is not just a necklace or a tool used to provide a health service, but also a powerful social symbol and a potential driver of behavioral change.
