eConvivial

According to the 2017-2022 PNDS (National Diagnosis and Treatment Protocol), the health problems affecting young people and adolescents are mainly sexual and reproductive health problems, including STIs and HIV. In this age group, there is an early pregnancy rate of 17%. Moreover, according to the EDST III (Demographic and Health Survey in Togo), 40% of pregnant women did not complete the 4 antenatal consultations and for 39% of pregnant women, they were not assisted by qualified health personnel during labour. All of these problems appear to be related to a lack of information and the persistence of risk behaviours among young people and adolescents. eConvivial therefore proposes to use ICTs to facilitate access to health information.

eConvivial is a web and mobile app designed to facilitate access to information and healthcare services related to sexual and reproductive health for people in Sub-Saharan Africa.

It features a Media section consisting of Practical Advice available in audio format, notably in French and certain local languages. There is also an instant messaging feature dedicated to Online Support, through which users can seek assistance from tele-advisors, primarily composed of midwives and other health specialists. In addition to the web series, one of the innovations of the eConvivial app is the integration of a web radio that engages young people on various topics, is also available as a podcast, and broadcasts 24/7.

eConvivial features a system for tracking the menstrual cycle, contraception, and vaccinations that enables the sending of automated calls, SMS notifications, or WhatsApp messages for menstrual tracking or reminders for various prenatal care or vaccination appointments.

eConvivial also offers an online consultation that directs users to health centers providing STI care or family planning services via a geolocation system, with the integration of a health insurance.

eConvivial also issues digital health cards equipped with NFC and RFID technology for the medical monitoring of young people and adolescents. Finally, eConvivial features an online store that offers users a variety of health and wellness products.

eCentre Convivial aims to provide the population with access to Sexual and Reproductive Health information and services. It is based on a web and mobile application to improve the daily well-being of young women of childbearing age, pregnant women and their infants. Throughout the entire Togo health system, there are many great applications but there is no application specifically designed to monitor the health of the population. This fundamental difference from existing solutions is recognised by partners such as the Ministry of Health, UNDP and the Global Fund as an innovative eHealth solution.
