YeneHealth: Track Women Health

YeneHealth – A Digital Health Platform for African Women

The Idea Behind YeneHealth

YeneHealth is a special app created to help women in Africa manage their reproductive health. The idea came from Kidist Tesfaye, an entrepreneur from Ethiopia. She saw how many women lacked easy access to important health information, especially about family planning and menstrual health. Many women didn’t have private, reliable resources to help them manage these aspects of their health.

Kidist wanted to solve this problem. She wanted to build an app that would give women all the health information they need in a safe, private way. This idea led to the birth of YeneHealth.

Facing Challenges with Technology

When building the YeneHealth app, there were several challenges to overcome.

1. Cultural Sensitivity: Talking about women’s health, especially reproductive health, is still considered taboo in many parts of Africa. People feel embarrassed or afraid to talk openly about issues like menstruation or contraception.

   • Solution: The app was made in a way that is sensitive to different cultures. It allows users to access health information privately and without judgment. The app is also available in multiple languages, making it easier for women in different regions to use it.

2. Limited Access to Technology: Many women in Africa don’t have strong internet connections or expensive smartphones.

   • Solution: The app was designed to use less data and work well on cheaper smartphones. This means that women in rural areas or those with limited access to technology can still use it.

3. Keeping Health Data Safe: Because women’s health information is private, it’s important to keep this data safe from hackers or unauthorized people.

   • Solution: The team used strong security methods to keep all health data safe. They made sure that personal information was encrypted, so no one could access it without permission.

4. Reliable Health Information: Many women don’t know where to find accurate information about their health, especially when it comes to family planning or menstrual health.

   • Solution: The app offers trusted health information that has been checked by doctors. It also uses smart technology to give users personalized health tips based on what they enter into the app.

How We Solved These Challenges

To solve these problems, our team worked closely with Kidist. We made sure the app would be easy to use, safe, and helpful for women. Our team of developers, designers, and healthcare experts came together to build a solution that worked for everyone.

We used our knowledge of technology and the needs of women in Africa to create an app that was simple but powerful. We also used AI (artificial intelligence) and data analysis to help make the app more personalized for each user.

The Tech Used in YeneHealth

We used several technologies to make YeneHealth work well:

1. React Native: This was used to build the app, so it works on both Android and iOS phones. This made it easier to reach more users.

2. Node.js and Express: These helped us create a strong system to handle all the app’s requests and manage health data.

3. AI and Data Analytics: We used this to give each user personalized health advice. It helps the app understand what the user needs and provide the right information.

4. MongoDB: This database stored all the information securely.

5. AWS: We used cloud services to host the app, so it could work fast and be available to users at any time.

A Satisfied Customer

After the app was launched, it quickly gained popularity. Many women have said that the app helped them feel more in control of their health. They were able to access information about family planning, menstrual health, and pregnancy in a private, safe way.

Kidist Tesfaye, the founder of YeneHealth, shared her excitement about the app:
“Working with DesignVortax was an amazing experience. They helped us build an app that truly serves the needs of women in Africa. Thanks to their technical skills and understanding of our vision, we now have a platform that empowers women to take control of their health. The response from users has been great, and we’re excited about the future!”

In the end, YeneHealth has helped thousands of women in Africa get better access to the health information they need. It’s been a great success, and the future looks bright for more women who will benefit from this amazing platform.
