• “mHealth has a crucial and even inevitable role in future healthcare, and
• the development and exploitation requires a top-down strategy or framework to match and encourage a bottom-up innovation by healthcare practitioners.”

“Organisations that do not embrace the Web’s natural
communication-oriented strengths will fail when they enter into

Midwives care for ‘well women’
“It is the midwife who has the complete range of skills necessary to provide the total maternity service for well women and their babies.”(Maggie Banks, New Zealand midwife)

31
Women’s needsInformation and communication needs for well women during pregnancy and postnatally are integral to midwifery service facilitation.
Is the use of information and communication technologies sufficiently considered?
