OneWomb Launches AI Family Planning Assistant

Nairobi, Kenya – 08/08/2025 – OneWomb, the flagship maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) platform by Doctors Explain Digital Health Co. LTD, has unveiled its latest innovation – the AI Family Planning Assistant – designed to provide accessible, culturally relevant, and medically accurate guidance on contraception, fertility, and sexual health to women and families across Africa and beyond.

The AI Family Planning Assistant is available now at doctorsexplain.org/family-planning-assistant and offers:

• Personalized contraception recommendations based on individual health profiles and preferences.
• Comprehensive information on effectiveness, side effects, and health considerations for each method.
• Fertility and pregnancy planning tools for couples preparing for parenthood.
• Local availability mapping to connect users with nearby clinics, pharmacies, and community health workers.
• Sexual and reproductive health education in multiple African languages, ensuring inclusivity and cultural fit.

A Leap Forward for MNCH in Africa

The AI Family Planning Assistant directly addresses core MNCH challenges – from high maternal mortality rates to low health literacy – by combining AI-driven personalization with offline-first mobile tools. It empowers frontline workers, including community health volunteers (CHVs) and midwives, to deliver accurate advice and support even in low-connectivity areas.

By reducing unplanned pregnancies, improving birth spacing, and increasing access to reproductive health information, this tool strengthens maternal and newborn outcomes while contributing to Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being.

Why It Matters

Millions of women across Africa face barriers to family planning – including stigma, misinformation, cost, and limited access to trained professionals. OneWomb’s AI-powered solution bridges this gap by providing trustworthy, 24/7 guidance and linking users to safe, affordable resources through the platform’s integrated MNCH eCommerce store and telehealth services.

Dr. Levi Cheruo Cheptora, CEO of Doctors Explain Digital Health, notes:

“Family planning is not just about preventing pregnancy—it’s about giving women and families the knowledge, choices, and tools they need to shape their futures. The AI Family Planning Assistant is our latest step toward closing Africa’s maternal health care gap.”

Join the Movement

The AI Family Planning Assistant is part of OneWomb’s broader mission to empower 200 million women of reproductive age in Africa with accessible digital health tools. The platform already serves thousands of mothers and health workers, with 98% user satisfaction recorded in recent pilot programs.

We invite users, health workers, and partners to test the tool and share feedback to shape its next iteration. Your input will help refine features, improve cultural adaptation, and expand integration into the OneWomb MNCH Digital Toolkit.
