Cloud engineer and AI specialist Louis Echefu has co-developed an offline mobile app called FetalKickApp to help pregnant women monitor their baby's movements. The application was tested in a four-week pilot study of 25 women at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, with most participants finding it helpful and easy to use.
However, the small sample size and short duration mean the study's findings are preliminary. The app is meant to supplement, not replace, antenatal care, and women should consult their healthcare provider if they notice changes in their baby's movements. Echefu, a veteran in cloud computing, AI, cybersecurity, and software engineering, hopes to expand the app's reach to more regions through larger studies and local-language adaptations.
