The resource from the Menzies School of Health Research represents an innovative approach to maternity health education, developed through extensive consultation and co-design with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women.
The app combines local language animations, podcasts, culturally tailored resources, and lived experiences to support women throughout their pregnancy journey. By aligning information with antenatal care schedules and promoting informed decision-making, Dangudbila aims to improve maternal health literacy, strengthen self-determination, and enhance access to culturally responsive pregnancy care.
