Pregnant women's experiences with an integrated diagnostic and
                decision support device for antenatal care in Ghana

BACKGROUND: Quality
                antenatal care (ANC) is recognised as an opportunity for
                screening and early identification of pregnancy-related
                complications. In rural Ghana, challenges with access to
                diagnostic services demotivate women from ANC attendance and
                referral compliance, leading to absent or late identification
                and management of high-risk women. In 2016, an integrated
                diagnostic and clinical decision support system tagged
                'Bliss4Midwives' (B4M), was piloted in Northern Ghana. The
                device facilitated non-invasive screening of pre-eclampsia,
                gestational diabetes and anaemia at the point-of-care. This
                study aimed to explore the experiences of pregnant women with
                B4M, and its influence on service utilisation ("pull effect")
                and woman-provider relationships ("woman engagement").
