Preeclampsia is a hypertensive pregnancy condition that is one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity in Ghana. This is especially prevalent in urban areas where lifestyle factors put pregnant women at a higher risk. Our transdisciplinary team collaborated with Ghanaian stakeholders to design an affordable blood pressure monitor for at-home use by pregnant women at high risk of developing preeclampsia, with a goal of early detection of the condition and prevention of further complications.
