I focused on supporting midwives’ continuous education for labor management, in Tanzania, sub Saharan Africa, and beyond.

I focused on supporting midwives’ continuous education for labor management, in Tanzania, sub Saharan Africa, and beyond. I founded this project on the principles of ethnographic research, inclusive and flexible digital design, and data security and use. During this time, I was fortunate to travel to Moshi, Tanzania to work closely with midwives, and combine insights with perspectives from medical professionals in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, Austria, Sweden, and Norway. The outcome was Rio, a hybrid social chat and professional education platform which facilitates and supports continuous midwife education. It is powered by social interaction, knowledge exchange, and democratization of information,and operates on a foundation of evidence based medical guidelines. Rio also challenges the ubiquitous nature of Whats App in the medical context by addressing and rethinking the generation, use, and storage of patient data. In tandem, Rio maintains successful social platform use behaviors and patterns, utilizing these traits to propel professional education and knowledge exchange. Show less
