“…Currently, there is a paucity of mHealth technologies that incorporate considerations for transportation access as it relates to maternal health. The technologies available have a narrow focus on accessing clinical services by supporting the delivery of monetary resources to pay for transportation and direct coordination of transportation ( 35 , 36 ). To expand on current technologies, Figure 1 presents a persona and scenarios grounded in qualitative interview data collected as part of a CBPR process focused on exploring transportation access to maternal health services through a patient work system lens ( 37 ).…”

“…Transportation access is one SDOH that affects prenatal care utilization, access to postpartum care, and the management of underlying chronic conditions during and after a pregnancy (31,32). Structural discrimination embedded in the design of transportation systems has resulted in disproportionately low access to healthcare and public services in marginalized communities (33,34). Currently, there is a paucity of mHealth technologies that incorporate considerations for transportation access as it relates to maternal health.…”

The maternal health crisis in the United States is becoming increasingly worse, with disparities continuing to escalate among marginalized populations. mHealth can contribute to addressing the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) that produce inequities in maternal morbidity and mortality. Reducing inequities through mHealth can be achieved by designing these technologies to align with SDOH. As mHealth developed to support maternal health has primarily supported the extension of clinical care, there is an opportunity to integrate frameworks and methods from human factors/ergonomics and public health to produce thorough comprehension of SDOH through intentional partnerships with marginalized populations. Potential for this opportunity is presented through a case study derived from a community-based participatory research process focused on transportation access to maternal health services. Through multi-faceted, interdisciplinary, and community-based approaches to designing mHealth that attends to the systemic factors that generate and escalate inequities, improvements in the maternal health crisis could be realized.
