In Uruguay, teenagers face significant challenges in accessing reliable health information. While the cultural landscape does play a role, the primary issues stem from the abundance of unverified information available on the internet and the difficulty teenagers have in discussing sensitive topics with their parents. Furthermore, obtaining an appointment with a gynecologist can take time, and underage individuals often need their parents' assistance to schedule such visits. Social media platforms also contribute to the spread of misinformation, making it even more difficult for teenagers to find trustworthy advice.
To address these challenges, we have developed an inclusive health and advice app specifically for girls, women, and individuals with female reproductive systems. Our app aims to provide these individuals with the support and information they need during their developmental years.
