What it does
Built in three phases. Every component draws on the same public health stack, so a woman gets the same verified answer and the same trusted options whether she types, speaks, calls or looks for a service.
Forward a claim as text, voice, image or video. The AI matches it to verified fact-checks and replies in her language.
For areas with weak or no internet. A woman calls and asks aloud, in her language, from any phone.
What she is entitled to, how to enrol and where to go.
It will act as an aggregator that connects women and girls to health services in their area, public and private, in one place.
How it works
The AI answers only from verified content. It does not make up health advice.
By text, voice, image, video or a phone call, in her own language.
It finds the matching verified answer and replies in seconds.
No verified answer yet? Doctors and public health experts answer it, and the answer is saved for the next woman who asks.
The public health stack
The AI is grounded in these layers and answers only from them. Doctors and public health experts check every layer, and it is updated regularly.
Pharmacies, medicine delivery firms, teleconsultation platforms such as eSanjeevani, insurers, nutrition services and hospitals, by area.
Official facility registries: Primary Health Centres (PHCs), Community Health Centres (CHCs), district hospitals and Jan Aushadhi Kendras, with location, services and contact.
Central and state schemes such as PMMVY, JSY, Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY and Anemia Mukt Bharat: eligibility, entitlements, how to apply, which department.
First Check's doctor-verified fact-checks, women's health information by life stage, and national and WHO health guidance.
