Apparatus and Method for managing Self-care of Pregnant woman}

The present invention relates to a management apparatus and method for promoting self-care during pregnancy, and more particularly, to a self-care management apparatus and method during pregnancy to assist self-care of pregnant women.

In general, the well-being of a pregnant woman has a great impact not only on the soon-to-be-born child, but also on the future health and life of the woman. Therefore, proper management for a healthy and happy pregnancy period is important for pregnant women. However, there are many cases where pregnant women in particular feel difficult in proper pregnancy management due to various restrictions in the working environment.

Pregnant women have a high interest in the health of themselves and their children, and their desire for self-care is also high. In the case of working pregnant women, it is difficult to participate in offline antenatal care education programs provided by hospitals and other health care institutions due to information and time constraints, and they show an information seeking pattern in which most pregnancy-related information is obtained through online searches.

There is an imbalance between self-care ability and demand, and ways to help prenatal management should be sought.

On the other hand, in the era of the 4th industrial revolution, many health care programs are being provided to subjects using IT technology. Many hospitals are providing medical information and education through mobile applications to registered patients. However, there are still not many mobile applications aimed at promoting the health and self-care of healthy people other than patients, and in particular, there is a need to develop a mobile application aimed at promoting self-care for pregnant women.

Most of the mobile applications for pregnant women are limited to information exchange between pregnant women, writing a parenting diary, and providing approximate information on changes in the mother and fetus by each stage of pregnancy. Moreover, mobile applications developed for working pregnant women who have no choice but to rely on online self-care than general pregnant women are in need of development.

Most of the currently developed applications have been developed as a web type or a hybrid type. Mobile applications developed in this form are slower than mobile applications developed in the native type, and there are disadvantages in that there is a limitation in using functions that can only be used in the native type.

In particular, in the case of the web type, it is difficult to use the native API provided by the native platform, and only the API provided by the browser (for Android, Chrome) can be utilized. In addition, UI implementation depends on native code, and unlike the native type that receives only data from a remote server, the web type and hybrid type also depend on the code received from the remote server for UI implementation, so until the remote server gives a response will see a blank screen, which adversely affects usability.
