What We Looked for in Digital Health Tools

This session emphasized the vital role of Indigenous midwives in perinatal care as both health providers and cultural stewards. We searched for digital tools that:

  • Support the autonomy of Indigenous pregnant women

  • Promote the transmission of traditional knowledge around childbirth

  • Foster early childhood development in culturally aligned ways

  • Priority was given to tools created by and for Indigenous communities, accessible offline, and aligned with values of privacy, dignity, and cultural safety
