The Android application provides a wealth of resources, including week-by-week and monthly developmental guides, nutritional recommendations, exercise routines, and relaxation techniques tailored to the specific stage of pregnancy. The system also offers regular reminders for prenatal appointments and medication intake, ensuring that the mother stays on track with her healthcare regimen.Preliminary user testing of the improved Android-based fertility indicator and antenatal companion system has shown promising results, demonstrating enhanced accuracy in fertility tracking and increased user satisfaction. The system has the potential to revolutionize the way women approach family planning and antenatal care, empowering them with actionable insights and personalized support.
