Family planning on askNivi

Family planning is one of the first journeys that Nivi developed and deployed on the askNivi chatbot. The chatbot provides a rich engagement experience, including exploring different types of birth control methods, addressing myths and misconceptions, and offers tailored recommendations based on users’ age, medical history, and current health status. askNivi can also refer users to nearby healthcare providers for further consultation or treatment.
