Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Although breastfeeding provides the infant with all the nutrients necessary for its development, it has been observed that in Panama there are low rates of Exclusive Breastfeeding. Educational interventions, that support exclusive breastfeeding, which begin before delivery and continue to the postnatal period, have been shown to be effective.

The main objective of the study is the development and testing of an educational intervention through web based platform, to support exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months. This educational intervention will provide guidance with the help of an audiovisual format, with information and breastfeeding techniques, which mothers can reproduce as many times as necessary.

The main objective of the study is the development and testing of an educational intervention through AmiHealth, to support exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months.

A pilot study will be conducted on a non-random convenience sample.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The team leveraged a user-centered design (UCD) approach to design and develop the initial version of the breastfeeding app. An agile development methodology for content and technology development which integrates feedback from all key stakeholders in the development process to refine the app over time, including the content and app.In parallel with the app design, the educational content for the intervention was developed with experts in the field.

The contents that will be develop for the breastfeeding module, Data operating system will be used for data management and analytical and projection tools.
