Digital health innovations like mHealth, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and gamification can improve access, decision-making, and patient engagement. This paper examines their impact on MCH services, including immunization, prenatal care, and maternal education. However, poor infrastructure, high costs, and low digital literacy hinder adoption. Expanding digital healthcare requires investments, policy reforms, partnerships, and community initiatives. Scalable, affordable solutions can enhance MCH outcomes, supporting universal health coverage and sustainable development goals in Nigeria.
