Abstract

This longitudinal study examines the impact of technology-led maternal health delivery services in rural Western Kenya. A mixed-method approach was employed, incorporating quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to gather data from a representative sample of rural communities in Western Kenya. The survey revealed that 75% of respondents had adopted the technology-led services by six months, with significant improvements noted in prenatal care adherence and timely health interventions. Technology-led maternal health delivery services showed promising adoption rates and positive impacts on maternal health outcomes in rural communities of Western Kenya. Further studies should explore long-term sustainability and scalability of these services to ensure sustained benefits for women's health. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
