For Health Promoters
Having difficulty engaging with your target audience?
Health systems have become increasingly complex to navigate, and consumers, especially women, often lack the necessary tools necessary to make informed decisions on their health. This often leads to disengagement from health system by many, and eventually poor health outcomes at an individual and population level.
Our conversational marketplace, askNivi, is available to your audience where they already are - on messaging platforms like WhatsApp.
Through a unique combination of behavioral science, real-time data segmented by demographic and behavioral attributes, and AI, askNivi provides those audiences with the tools they need to engage with their own health and the health system on their own terms, while driving better health outcomes.
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.
