Women's situation assessment in science and health: an interdisciplinary approach to public health, gender and computing Among the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) defined by the United Nations (UN), the fifth draws attention to gender equality. Gender inequality is the result of centuries of female oppression and devaluation of women and has been perpetuated to the present day. Within the scientific environment, the scenario is not much better. The third SDG advocates healthy living and well-being for all. An indicator of this goal is the "maternal mortality ratio", which reflects the degree of economic and social development and the conditions of women in societies. It is related to gender inequities, provision and access to female education, the health system, and appropriate health interventions. Information and communication technology (ICT) applied in the health field has great potential. The UN considers this tool to be an integral part of the agenda for implementing universal health coverage. This paper aims to present three case studies with ICTs in the context of gender and maternal health: (i) automated data collection for the evaluation of sexism at the University of São Paulo (USP), (ii) evaluation of the satisfaction of pregnant women with a health education strategy using an automated SMS distribution system (PRENACEL) and (iii) mathematical modeling to update reference measures for cesarean rate assessment (C-Model). Our results suggest that: (i) in relation to scientific sexism at USP, although the university is developing actions to promote gender equality, inequalities persist. (ii) Regarding the evaluation of women's satisfaction with the PRENACEL strategy, it is observed a high degree of user satisfaction. (iii) Regarding the update of the C-Model, our findings suggest that the new model does not present superior results to the original C-Model. It is concluded that the interdisciplinarity between computational methods, gender issues and collective health allows new perspectives and advances. This same approach can be expanded to other questions, other areas, advancing science and care in an integral way to all individuals.

Objective: Increase adherence to recommended practices of prenatal care through the development and use of a system that distributes content to pregnant woman through short message service (SMS). Design: Cluster randomized controlled trial. Setting: 20 primary health care facilities (PHCF) in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil. Subject: Women older than 18 years, attending to prenatal care on selected facilities, and that had 20 weeks of gestational age or less during recruitment time. Methods: We developed and deployed an information system to automatically distribute relevant content to pregnant women during prenatal and postnatal care, called SISPRENACEL. The system itself was not evaluated, although we built it using the best practices of software engineering and it was closely monitored. To evaluate 3.
