Accurate, high quality record keeping is essential for safe maternity care and for expectant mothers to be well informed. Current practice usually involves clinicians manually completing the hand held maternity notes as the primary source of information and duplicating this into an electronic system. Double entry is expensive, time consuming and results in mother and clinician dissatisfaction and may lead to miscommunication and delay in patient care.

MiApp provides an integrated record putting the mother at the centre and in control of her own health record. The application is accessible to her on her mobile phone, tablet or home computer. It promotes effective communication between the mother and her carers and ensures that she has the opportunity to be fully informed and engaged in decision-making.

The information can be shared instantly with primary and secondary care providers and connect to all stakeholders, so that information is received automatically and instantly. MiApp can be used as the primary system, or link seamlessly to primary care and hospital based systems for one consolidated view, thereby avoiding multiple entry of the same data.
