Super Abbu

A speech-based MNCH platform designed to engage expectant fathers in maternal and newborn care across rural Punjab, Pakistan — built end-to-end by the Materna Systems team.

Research Context

Pakistan carries the world's highest neonatal mortality rate — 44.2 per 1,000 live births — and among the worst maternal mortality rates in the region. Existing ICT-based interventions have struggled due to low smartphone penetration, limited literacy, and high deployment costs in rural areas. Super Abbu addressed this gap by building a simple phone call-based service that connects expectant fathers to doctors and peer networks, supplementing Lady Health Worker visits and operating without any smartphone requirement.

Our Technical Contributions
📞
IVR System Design
Designed and built the full Interactive Voice Response system — the core interface through which fathers submitted questions and accessed doctor responses via ordinary phone calls, requiring no smartphone or literacy.
🩺
Doctor's Application
Built the physician-facing application enabling doctors to receive, review, and respond to patient-submitted voice queries, with workflow tools for managing high call volumes across the platform.
🖥️
Moderator's Panel
Developed the administrative moderation panel used by platform operators to oversee content, manage user accounts, flag escalations, and monitor platform-wide activity in real time.
🎨
UI/UX Design
Owned all user interface and experience design across every surface — IVR call flows, doctor dashboard, moderator console — with particular attention to accessibility and low-literacy contexts.
⚙️
API Development
Engineered the full API layer connecting all platform components, implementing robust authentication and authorisation protocols to secure data in transit across the system.
🔐
Security & Authentication
Implemented end-to-end security hardening across all APIs and data flows — including token-based authentication, role-based access control, and audit logging aligned with research compliance requirements.
