Evaluating the impact of engaging healthcare providers in an AI-based gamified mHealth intervention for improving maternal health outcomes among disadvantaged pregnant women in Lebanon
Integrating HCPs into an mHealth intervention significantly enhanced ANC uptake and maternal and neonatal outcomes in disadvantaged populations in Lebanon. These findings underscore the importance of combining digital tools with clinical support to address systemic barriers and improve maternal health in resource-limited settings. Future interventions should address delivery practices and broader social determinants of health to achieve sustainable impacts.
