Indian Foundation Develops AI Chatbot to Provide Private Health Advice for Women
-
Myna Mahila Foundation in India is developing a health chatbot powered by AI to provide women with information on sexual and reproductive health.
-
The chatbot is currently in a pilot stage with 80 test users helping train it by asking questions.
-
The chatbot aims to provide accurate, non-judgmental health advice that women may not be able to easily access elsewhere due to social norms.
-
Funders like Gates Foundation are supporting developing AI solutions for problems in low- and middle-income countries that corporations don't prioritize.
-
They are working to ensure the chatbot protects user privacy and that its responses are medically accurate before full release.
