The county government of Nakuru in collaboration with Jacaranda Health is integrating artificial intelligence (AI) to transform maternal healthcare and improve patient outcomes.
County Executive Committee Member (CECM) in charge of Health Services, Ms Roselyn Mungai, explained that through an AI-powered SMS platform known as PROMPTS (Promoting Mums Through Pregnancy and Postpartum), expectant mothers were being furnished with lifesaving information and referral services.
Ms Mungai said that PROMPTS was currently active in 126 health facilities within the devolved unit and was reaching 13,874 pregnant women while addressing over 59,000 inquiries.
She noted that the initiative had been instrumental in ensuring that mothers receive timely medical advice, understand potential danger signs, and seek appropriate care when necessary and on time.
