DEVELOPMENT OF A NOTIFICATION SYSTEM FOR CHILD DELIVERY IN A LABOUR ROOM
Abstract
In many hospitals, especially in developing countries, there is a noticeable communication gap between healthcare providers and patients' families during childbirth. This often leads to anxiety and delays in notifying next of kin when a baby is successfully delivered. This project focuses on the development of a notification system that automatically sends SMS alerts to the next of kin immediately after the successful delivery of a child in the labor room. The system is designed to be simple, user-friendly, and efficient, allowing hospital staff to register patient details and those of their next of kin, and to trigger automated SMS notifications once delivery is confirmed.
The system was developed using React, Express.js and Supabase, along with an SMS API integration for message dispatch. The process begins with patient registration, followed by staff confirmation of delivery, which activates the SMS sending feature.
