For Health Promoters
Having difficulty staying engaged with your target audience?
Health systems are fragmented in reproductive health, maternal care, and primary health. Consumers, especially women, are underserved on sexual and reproductive health, leading to unintended pregnancy, STIs, maternal and infant mortality, and cervical cancer.
Our chat-based health promotion platform, askNivi, is available to your audience where they already are: WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.
Nivi uses our unique combination of health content, behavioral science, and AI to educate users on health topics and progress them on their journey to engage with the health system.
Engaging consumers on these health topics creates healthy demand for providers. askNivi breaks the cycle of miseducation and connects these newly engaged consumers with vetted healthcare providers--empowering individuals to seek care on their own terms.
To drive health awareness and uptake of services, Society for Family Health (SFH) contracted Nivi on a 4-year project to generate demand for family planning and primary healthcare at drug shops and pharmacies in selected states across Nigeria.
Community Pharmacists (CPs) and Patent and Proprietary Medicine Vendors (PPMVs) are the first point of primary health care (PHC) for most Nigerians. Given their widespread presence, well-regulated and well-trained PPMVs could strengthen access to universal health care (UHC) by playing a greater role in PHC provision, including promising health interventions such as self-injectable DMPA SC and integrated management of childhood illnesses (IMCI).
Leveraging social media and offline campaigns to drive awareness of health journeys on the askNivi chatbot, Nivi quickly onboarded for SFH tens of thousands of users and re-engaged them in family planning, tuberculosis, STIs and more. Educating these users is the first step in helping them to convert their interest into health seeking action. askNivi was also translated and deployed in the Hausa language to further meet the needs of users. Referring users to PPMVs and CPs for family planning services and primary healthcare, SFH has continued to realize their goal of strengthening the health system via CP and PPMV primary points of care in Nigeria.
