Digital Health Interventions and Maternal Mortality in Kigali: A Three-Year Longitudinal Study

Digital health interventions have shown promise in reducing maternal mortality rates globally. In Rwanda, Kigali has seen a significant increase in digital healthcare services due to government initiatives. A longitudinal study design was employed, with data collected through electronic health records and community surveys. Key variables included access to digital services and maternal mortality outcomes. Over the three-year period, there was a reduction in reported maternal deaths by 15% among women who accessed digital health platforms compared to those without such access (p < 0.05). Digital health interventions have proven effective in mitigating maternal mortality rates in Kigali, with significant reductions observed. Further research should explore the long-term sustainability and scalability of these digital healthcare solutions. digital health, maternal mortality, Rwanda, longitudinal study Treatment effect was estimated with logit(pᵢ)=β₀+β^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
