: Because of the advent of various diseases and epidemics, the healthcare system has been a major source of concern around the world in recent years. Today's Nigerian medical system suffers from a lack of quick, accurate, and dependable software solutions that can assist healthcare practitioners in making real-time decisions to manage urgently and, in some circumstances, complex medical problems. In addition, the cost of processing and evaluating huge volumes of data in a medical setting is considerable, particularly in terms of time consumption. As a result, the goal of this research is to create and implement a hybrid persuasive technology for antenatal healthcare that will provide critical health information to pregnant women and nursing moms in remote locations. The system was designed using Object-oriented Analysis and Design Methodology (OOAD). The system successfully integrated diverse patients' medical records from several hospitals. This study's findings suggest that persuasive strategies (social comparison strategy, normative influence strategy, recognition technique, and so on) affect antenatal healthcare and, as a result, behavior change in users. The research contributes both theoretically and practically to software engineering and design. It lays the groundwork for future studies on persuasive technologies in healthcare.
