A Dubai Health Authority (DHA) app has been given an innovative new feature called the 'belly speaker'. Once the app, Tifli (my baby) is opened, a pregnant woman can listen to her baby's heartbeats by placing the phone on her belly.
Pregnant women can also create her own journal and post daily experiences and upload photographs.
The app is designed to assist women from conception until the child is five years old. It has a vaccination synchronisation calendar, which allows the mother to check the dates of her children's vaccination appointments.
Other features of the app include rescheduling or cancelling doctor's appointment; access to videos and articles on best practices during different stages of pregnancy; baby growth tracking; and information about breastfeeding.
Diabetes management
Another DHA app - Hayati - is a diabetes management app which empowers Type1 and Type 2 diabetics to take control of their diabetes through easy self-management techniques.
A particularly useful feature is that diabetics can directly transfer glucometer reading to the app and if the patient is registered with a DHA health facility, results are automatically exported to his file.
Users can also press the emergency tab, and two registered family members and 999 will receive an immediate notification. The app can be customised and users can opt to receive daily reminders to take their medication. They will also get notifications if their blood sugar reading is low or high.
The app also provides useful information about diet tips as well as do's and don'ts to help keep blood sugar levels under control.
Both Tifli and Hayati have some common features. Users can add their daily usage of medicines and track it. Both apps have weight and BMI trackers. Features also include an activity tracker - which in integrated with FitBit.
The apps also have blood pressure, water and sleep trackers. They have a 'master slave option' which allows the user to give family member or friends access to the app so that they can keep track of the user's health status.
Amani Al Jassmi, Director of Information Technology at the DHA, said: "Our aim is to constantly update information and features of our apps so that we continuously improve customer experience."
