Chatbot for Reproductive Health Advice for Young Senegalese Women

Nicolas Poussielgue of Dakar Institute of Technology in Senegal will expand the Weerwi platform by incorporating a Large Language Model (LLM) into the existing chatbot to enable more personalized advice and information on menstrual health for young women. The LLM will enable interactions in a conversational style to better engage users. It will also incorporate conversations across engagements with individual users to better identify their priorities and gaps in knowledge and give personalized recommendations for where to find additional information. The enhanced chatbot will be designed in consultation with users, and like the existing version, it will be available through a website and mobile app.
