#SAP and Heidelberg University Hospital Personalize Pregnancy Care This Sunday is International Women's Day,
Heidelberg University Hospital, one of the largest hospitals in all of Europe is a perfect example of connected care working to improve women's lives.
In partnership with SAP and abcmedien, the University Hospital developed an app to provide pregnant women all information needed along their pregnancy and beyond.
which only pushes consumer product information, the healthcare experts at Heidelberg University Hospital created this app to serve as a dual resource for both mothers and physicians alike.
At Heidelberg University Hospital, doctors can analyze the answers obtained through the app, and proactively identify mothers at risk for such illness
and was built on the SAP Mobile Platform to provide Heidelberg University Hospital an intuitive interface to connect doctors with patients and vice versa.
In the future, Heidelberg University Hospital hopes to expand the app to help treat and monitor cancer patients as well as other diseases.
Heidelberg University Hospital can reduce immediate and long-term risks for mother and for baby. The traditional relationship between patient and doctor still exists
