Improving access to Sexual and Reproductive Health information with Myka the Chatbot

Improving access to Sexual and Reproductive Health information with Myka the Chatbot

Myka is a contraceptive and sexual health chatbot developed by the global digital platform Find My Method, which provides reliable information about contraception, safe sex, and reproductive health. The chatbot was created to help people easily access clear, accurate, and personalized guidance on sexual and reproductive health topics.

Myka functions as a digital assistant that answers questions about contraception, pregnancy, and sexual health. It is available 24/7 and can be accessed in English, Spanish, and French, through several platforms, including the FindMyMethod website, WhatsApp, and social media messaging services.

Why Access to Sexual and Reproductive Health Information Still Matters Globally

Comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education is often hard to access through the existing education systems, as many governments do not consider it essential information. Sexuality education is limited or not fully integrated into educational systems.

When people lack accurate information about contraception and reproductive health, it can affect their ability to make informed decisions about their bodies and relationships.

Gaps in sexual and reproductive health education worldwide

Sexual and reproductive health education is not universally accessible. In many educational systems, topics such as contraception, reproductive rights, and safe sexuality are considered controversial or are treated as secondary subjects.

As a result, many individuals, especially young people, turn to online platforms or informal sources to find answers about their sexual health.

To address this limited access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health information and ensure that what you are accessing is accurate, Find My Method offers an online platform that leverages digital innovations to provide comprehensive, up-to-date, dynamic, and engaging content on contraceptives and safe sexuality.

Unintended pregnancy rates and the global impact of misinformation

According to the Guttmacher Institute’s “Global Comparative Study of ‘Conditional’ Unintended Pregnancy Rates,” more than one in ten women worldwide experience an unintended pregnancy each year. Misinformation about contraception, fertility, and pregnancy prevention can contribute to incorrect use of birth control or lack of protection.

The Role of Digital Health Tools in Sexual and Reproductive Health Education

Access to information empowers people, and the internet has become a valuable tool for information, especially with the rise of digital platforms during the pandemic.

Digital technologies are increasingly used to expand access to health information. Platforms, mobile tools, and chatbots can provide guidance in a format that is accessible, private, and available at any time.

These tools can complement traditional education and help reach people who might not otherwise have access to reliable sexual health resources.

How the internet changed access to sexual health information

While the Find My Method users can access the information directly from the website, there is now a new option to access the same information through a more personalized route. This is where Myka comes in to help.

The risks of misinformation in online sexual health content

However, the overwhelming amount of information on the internet can be confusing. Even with information readily available, we sometimes need guidance and support from a trusted source.

With the growth of digital platforms, sexual health education becomes increasingly vulnerable to misinformation. Therefore, secure digital innovations, like Myka, that provide accurate and stigma-free information, are crucial for learning comprehensive sexual education.
