Implementation of ICTs in the MAMÁ Score
摘要
This study presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of an information system based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for monitoring obstetric risk via the MAMÁ Score, applied in an urban context. The intervention was carried out at Clínica Bella Mujer, located in the Guamaní neighborhood in southern Quito, and focused on a sample of 40 pregnant women with gestational ages between eight and thirty weeks. The system, developed in PHP within an MVC architecture, enabled the collection of clinical data such as gestational age and blood pressure, automatizing the stratification of obstetric risk. Out of the 40 records, 33 cases were successfully managed through the digital platform, representing an 82.5% effectiveness rate. All registered cases had blood pressure within the normal range and were categorized as medium risk. The results highlight the importance of integrating ICTs into maternal care to optimize early risk detection, reduce manual operational burden, and ensure continuity of prenatal follow-up. This strategy proves especially effective in urban environments with access to digital infrastructure, and offers a replicable model for national maternal health programs
