Extreme heat events across Sub-Saharan Africa put pregnant and postpartum mothers at serious risk. AWS and Jacaranda Health built an open-source, event-driven serverless system that detects extreme heat days in advance and delivers personalized weather alerts via SMS to more than 240,000 mothers. The solution shows what’s possible when cloud-native architecture, generative AI, and deep domain expertise come together to give every mother the knowledge she needs to protect herself and her baby.
