ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To develop and assess the GAIA! app, designed to assist pregnant women and healthcare professionals in managing infectious diseases during pregnancy, and to bridge the information gap between health professionals and expectant mothers. STUDYDESIGN:
This collaborative initiative in Italy involved partnerships with the University of Florence, Careggi University Hospital, and other institutions. The app, built on the Ionic framework, is available on both Apple and Google App Stores. It offers two distinct modes "healthcare providers" and "patients." Content for the app was derived from extensive literature reviews and clinical guidelines.RESULTS:
Since its August 2022 launch, the GAIA! app has garnered over 2,500 downloads, indicating its effectiveness and acceptance within the community. The app differentiates itself from others, such as the Sanford Guide, by focusing specifically on the needs of pregnant women. It ensures cross-platform compatibility, a user-friendly interface, and offline functionality.CONCLUSIONS:
The GAIA! app has successfully addressed a niche in infectious disease management for pregnant women, gaining significant traction within the community. While it has seen substantial success, challenges like continuous updates and potential language expansion remain. Future endeavors will address these challenges and further evaluate the app's impact on maternal and child health.Palavras-chave
