        abstract = {Maternal and child health are critical indicators of a nation’s well-being. In many rural and resource-limited settings, manual record keeping, fragmented data and lack of real-time monitoring limit effective healthcare delivery. We propose a Maternal Child Health Monitoring and ID System that assigns unique digital IDs to mothers and children, integrates IoT- enabled vital sensors, and provides a cloud-backed mobile/web portal for healthcare workers and administrators. The system supports real-time monitoring (temperature, heart-rate, SpO2), automated alerts, offline data entry with synchronization, GPS- based outreach mapping, and analytics for policy planning. A low-cost Arduino-based sensing node, a Flask web backend with SQL Alchemy database, and a responsive web interface form the prototype. Experimental simulation and field-like testing demonstrate the system’s potential to reduce missed care events, improve record continuity and enable data-driven interventions in underserved regions.},
