Summary

This trial tested a program where community health workers used a tablet app to screen pregnant women in rural India for anemia, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Over 3,400 women took part. The goal was to see if this screening and referral system could lower anemia rates and improve follow-up care after birth. The program also helped doctors manage high-risk patients.
