Pregnancies are a good example of a moment in life, where health-related decisions are of great importance.
Understanding all medical procedures, health examinations and their results is important for adjusting lifestyle, feeling security, the ability to make decisions, and avoiding fear.
The goal of my master thesis is to develop a solution, which guides parents through the medical and scientific side of pregnancy. Help them understand risks, what procedures they will undergo, why and what they mean, to avoid fear and frustration.
