Every year, around 75,000 women get pregnant in Norway. The World Health Organization recommends that pregnant women get good care from different health workers. In Norway, all pregnant women get a paper health card at their first check-up, called Helsekort for gravide. They must bring it to every visit, as it holds important information and connects doctors, midwives, and hospitals. As of 2025, this card is still a handwritten A4 paper.

This master’s thesis looks at how a digital version of the health card can improve care for pregnant women and make work easier for health professionals. It explores the problems with the current system, what works well, and what can be better. Using service and UX design methods, the project goes through research, problem-solving, and idea development. It focuses on making the design useful for both pregnant women and health workers.

The proposed solution includes two parts: a digital tool for healthcare workers and a phone app for pregnant women. The digital tool helps professionals share information easily, reducing repeated work and improving communication. The app gives women a simple way to track their pregnancy without needing to carry the paper card. Early tests show that the digital system is easier to use, improves access to information, and helps health workers collaborate better. This thesis can be a first step toward digital pregnancy records in Norway.
