Jacaranda Health partnered with Rippleworks to better engage mothers who use their app

 Jacaranda Health addresses gaps in the availability of accessible, scalable, and affordable high-quality maternal care. Jacaranda runs a training hospital in Kenya to provide maternal care, and helps transfer their best practices to nurses in more than 70 public sector hospitals across five countries.

One of Jacaranda’s top priorities going into the project was better engaging mothers who use their PROMPTS platform. Jacaranda partnered with Rippleworks to develop an understanding of the end-to-end customer journey mothers take when using PROMPTS.

This project was a transformative experience for us in terms of how to think through understanding our users and designing with them in mind!

We left the project with the right mindset and clarity on the undertakings needed to make sure that we continue to make our programs user centered.

—Jacaranda Health Program Manager Sieglinder Mghenyi
