There are also some messages to help teach mothers how to determine whether their baby is ill or not. The mother manages to save time by not going to the doctors each time she has a question, as most of them are answered in the text messages. This technology could be adapted and used worldwide, and could even send different text messages depending on the stage of development in the babies life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/rundown\/2013\/05\/in-south-africa-using-mobile-technology-to-improve-maternal-health-access.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mobile health technologies to rapidly test and track infectious diseases<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many around the world will say that prevention is the best form of cure, and it is very true.
