Inspiration

Global Maternal Mortality: Every day, approximately 800 women die from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. In low-resource settings, 94% of these deaths occur, underscoring the need for improved maternal health services (WHO, 2023).

Access to Reproductive Health Services: Around 214 million women in developing countries still have an unmet need for modern contraception, leading to unintended pregnancies and increased health risks (UNFPA).

Gender-based Violence: 1 in 3 women worldwide experiences physical or sexual violence in her lifetime, often resulting in mental health issues, sexually transmitted infections, and bodily injuries (UN Women, 2023).

Early Marriage and Childbirth: Approximately 12 million girls under 18 marry each year, and child marriage is linked to higher risks of complications during pregnancy and childbirth, as well as limited access to health education and services (UNICEF, 2023).

Gender Gaps in Healthcare Access: Women and girls, especially in rural and underserved communities, often face significant barriers to accessing healthcare, including limited financial resources, transportation challenges, and cultural restrictions (World Bank).

Mental Health Disparities: Women are more likely than men to experience depression and anxiety, yet mental health services are often inaccessible due to stigma and lack of resources, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (WHO, 2023).

Cervical Cancer: Cervical cancer, preventable through regular screenings and vaccination, remains one of the leading causes of cancer death among women in developing countries, with 90% of deaths occurring in low- and middle-income nations (WHO).

Health Literacy and Education: Limited health literacy impacts women's ability to make informed health decisions. In many regions, cultural norms and gender discrimination limit access to education on reproductive health, nutrition, and preventive care (UNESCO).

COVID-19 Impact: The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated gender inequities, with women losing access to essential health services. A report found that 70% of sexual and reproductive health services in low- and middle-income countries experienced disruptions during the pandemic (UNDP, 2022).

What it does

How I built it

We developed this app using Gemini's multi-modal capabilities, integrating LangChain, vector embeddings, and Chroma DB for efficient data storage and retrieval. With Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), our app powers a multilingual, multi-modal chatbot that provides accurate and accessible healthcare information to users in multiple languages and formats.

Challenges I ran into

collecting the relevant documents Understanding the Challenges for women's health issues Creating impactful prompts. app engine does not support streamlit by default so we had to use custom and docker.
