Usability and Usefulness of SMS-Based Artificial Intelligence Intervention (Mwana) on Breastfeeding Outcomes in Lagos, Nigeria: Pilot App Development Study

The study highlights the potential of Mwana to improve breastfeeding outcomes in resource-limited settings, contributing to the growing body of evidence supporting mHealth interventions in maternal and child health. By leveraging personalized messaging, SMS-based delivery, and language localization, Mwana offers a scalable, accessible solution. However, challenges remain regarding AI comprehension, and further research is necessary to evaluate Mwana's effectiveness among populations not actively engaged with health care services. Future iterations will expand AI training datasets, refine NLP capabilities, and scale to broader populations.
