Using Human-Centered Design to Develop, Launch, and Evaluate a National Digital Health Platform to Improve Reproductive Health for Rwandan Youth

Publication Year: 2021
Contributing Organisation: YLabs
Authors: Nicole Ippoliti , Mireille Sekamana , Laura Baringer .
Learning Themes: Adolescent Insights

A lack of access to evidence-based, unbiased, and youth-friendly family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) information and care limit young people’s ability to prevent unplanned pregnancies and HIV and sexually transmitted infections. This threatens their health and is a significant cause of school drop-out, limiting young peoples’ well-being, future potential, and employment opportunities. To address these challenges facing youth, YLabs used an end-to-end human-centered design (HCD) approach to create CyberRwanda, a digital platform aiming to improve the health and livelihoods of adolescents (aged 12–19 years) in Rwanda.
