Published on July 31, 2020, a local medical solutions company, Medbook, has developed an app to improve Sexual Reproductive Health (SRH) among women and girls in Kenya.
The app, Flora, is designed to track and advise several interested parties in the user's menstrual life, including parents, partners, and healthcare professionals.
According to Rahab Wanjiru, one of the app's developers, Flora is an all-inclusive app that allows users to track their menstrual cycles and receive advice on SRH.
“Flora is an app we developed that is not only tailor-made to keep track of menstrual cycles in teens and young women but also to answer all questions around SRH for the user,” noted Wanjiru.
The app also features a chatbot that allows users to consult with a gynecologist, dietician, fertility expert, or psychologist, depending on their unique needs.
Sexual Reproductive Health has been a significant concern in Kenya, with hundreds of thousands of teen pregnancies reported this year alone.
Medbook's Flora app aims to address this issue by providing a platform for young women to access accurate information and advice on SRH.
