Integrating WHO’s digital adaptation kit for antenatal care into BornFyne-PNMS: insights from Cameroon
The digital health ecosystem in Cameroon is in an emerging phase with an increasing demand for digital health technologies, especially in the area of reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health. This article describes and documents the steps in operationalization of the ANC DAK content into the BornFyne-PNMS content, highlighting the DAK as an important tool for guiding and facilitating software engineers in developing and integrating recommended ANC guidelines into digital platforms to facilitate interoperability, going by the structure of the document, its workflow processes, and content mapping elements.
