1st of this war of attrition, the russians war and ukraine on persons from the line starts october 26th on d, w. the. for some people talking about sex contraception and pregnancy can be uncomfortable. and in many cultures, even to boom, the internet has long been a place where people can ask questions anonymously. and nowadays they have more and more apps and a i've had, but specifically geared towards texting the sensitive meadows. but can we trust the information and what happens to a data? hey, i uphold apps can be great educational tools, but often times the content is off at exclusively in english, and to 1000 k to 2 other languages of dialect. so it's awesome. the people who need resources knows why screwed it from them, including people in more rural regions. may not bowl is an app designed to

understand some of india's numerous languages and dialects. as i am specifically at women who are lack reliable information on topics like menstruation and fertility, or family planning, the main cause of the want to dispel them is and empower women. but how well does b, i understand that use us and use us getting the answers they need when code jani, cut them 1st, go to a period. she didn't know anything about it. she had a lot of misconceptions. so money and i began with my grandmother used to say, if a snake case for period blood from discarded sanitary pads, then you'll never get your period again and you'll never be able to have children. she found out only recently that that wasn't true. after asking any, i just thought because that time had come for her daughter to meet him. medium big will play that when my daughter 1st got her period, i repeated what i had been told that you'll have problems of any animal to serve

period blood a bit of a buddy's. but then i asked them unable app about it, and it cleared up the misconceptions. i explained to my daughter that it was actually a superstitions with, i think, a self which name will they use. so on babies was little thing. as a super use of the chat to be power chat, but she can also ask questions on behalf of other women. they cannot be on local police a while now. whenever i have a question about periods pregnancy or even mental health, we put it to the chat box and get an answer on the door. one secret, i'll take whatever the women ask me. i put it in the chat box and it replies somebody as a in india a, i'd ship us like, minute bolts and the i or does task also use as medically accurate answers in the confidential and non judge mental minute. the information and the minute bolo app comes from dr. so taylor into regional needs. we have created a medical data base and we have restricted it to the indian context, for example,

or user has asked that i, oh, i've had relations and you know, i don't want to conceive at the moment what you need to know me is on. so it is that you can have a c, b emergency contraceptive bit. so the answer that could come out from here is p a or you, but they can easily be anywhere between 5 days of having patients. okay. but in a new context, that would not was the easy fees that are available here. usually you're out walking only for 72 hours. so language isn't the only effect the developers have to take into account regional differences should be considered to. but in order to receive taylor nonsense, use us have to disclose very personal information. how is this data protected? we ask one of the people behind mandible. we have various guidelines in god, j as in please. also one of those being the gdc, our guidelines. in addition, we are finding various methods in order to ensure that there is no deductible. so this would include a woman thing and we're going to need close jobs history. the lead to the don't

have for um, sign any of you also ensure that our data is, you know, forwarded by unique id rather than by needs. so this also helps to make sure that any um, you know, highlighting 5 tons and sans we need to analyze the next slide. so there's a unique id, not city identifying the name or age or location of any of the women that are using that application. that sounds like a well thought out strategy, but why that may seem obvious that intimate information needs to be protected, yukon take for granted that it will be a study published in 2024, assess the data security practices of various female health apps. and it revealed the bleak reality for use as many women use period track apps as a tool to avoid getting pregnant. or when trying to conceive about the apps reviewed for the studies have hardly any security precautions. many were found lacking when it came to save storage and the depletion of sensitive data. so even required superfluous information. for example,

camera access to scan pregnancy tests, other apps passed on the data directly to 3rd parties. this is highly problematic, especially in countries for abortions, illegal if data ends up in the wrong hands authorities could potentially post acute use us. but more on that later data security is also crucial for the as a be 2 plus community. but people can face are still of the and persecution for many online platforms can be a safe space. grinder, for example, is the world's largest stating app for eligibility to pass people in south africa. the app is testing of strategies to educate people about s t eyes. johannesburg is a booming city that's recently been battling a spike in s t eyes and all the illnesses, the risk of contracting h i v and, and foxes high here, especially for man who have sex with man. shorthand, m s. m trans. people to face a higher risk, especially for age ivy. the use of the dating tide from grind as shown information

about and boxed directly in the research as from assenture. hello, those medical center have teamed up with brian to, to increase awareness of the dangers of s t eyes among the apps use as we are, is these communication that the 1st cases of impulse, you know, had been reported and it seemed that it was spreading mostly in the m s. m, community and they were at higher risk of getting in bulk. and we decided to use a partnership with glenda to create a win is around impulse. so we have, since i submitted some information around symptoms associated with the info and what to report and how it spread. we have shared this with grand up with them to post on the pet form of these brian to use as a also shown information on the h i v. prevention medication on this prep. the sensor research center has popping

up with an online store, so that use us just to click away from ordering prep for h a. v tests before any medication is delivered, a block test and an online medical consultation required. but what about the data protection grind it does collect information about its use as by a cookies. for example, just like all the apps and websites about the company says it does not collect data on where they use as respond to the medical office. we are not collecting any data in regards to the pop up messages. these are just a way that we are connecting users to the resources and services that are shared locally. so for example, if a user order is prep through the student center, we would not know which user orders that where their home is or where that location is. that is only you should oh, that's only shared with in the interest center and their platform uses updating ads div also a lot of private information,

but shouldn't medical data really be part of that? then again, discreetly finding out about prevention options online can be hugely beneficial to many people we have long waiting times or discrimination and stigma, and a lot of our, um, how facilities for all ged guys, people. so accessing it on a platform like social media ro grinder makes a lot accessible and also stay for all ged, past people that they don't worry about having that face to face interaction. the fact is, using dating apps means disclosing personal information. and despite all the shortens as ronda has been in court several times for data protection violations in norway, the company was ordered to pay a fine of almost 6000000 euros. and although there can be advantages to sharing medical information online, i for one cause is still in some cases on pet sounds or something of the last resort. for example, in the wake of strict, the boston laws, in the us abortions,

i know band in a number of states, many women have no choice but to, to, onto the internet. there be productive rights organizations of and valuable support . like how to get the morning off the bill that post or directions to the nearest clinics and stays. well, boston is still legal, not to mention advice and counseling. measures like these can save lives at u. s. study found a link between restrictive abortion roles and highest suicide rates among women of childbearing age. and is the abortions have been committed under certain circumstances since 2005, the change significantly reduced maternal mortality because abortion is performed illegally by. i'm saying people are very dangerous, that sad, southern issues are still considered to move on to put no key this to us, but yeah, he was born in ethiopia. she's all too familiar with the tip. who was that provider country? after graduating from college university in the us, she, we took them to it's the yeah, the vision to advance women's health care with a start up. when i 1st came to jump out, i ordered,

i went to the pharmacy to bypass century pads. and i ordered, and the, the pharmacist went to the bottom product. you're active in this paper and then give it to me. and i was like, wait, i just ordered pad the mission of a company, g and a health is to help girls and women gain a better understanding of that bodies and health. gina means my and i'm how rig so my health, many goals in ethiopia don't know much about menstruation until they experience it themselves. the stigma prevents many women from talking about it openly. a lot of the times patients are just scared to talk about or ask questions and they end up in circumstances that have to get them hospitalized fewer than a 3rd of the 60000000 women. and if you have sufficient access to menstrual products, some have to use unsanitary materials such as racks on use papers. instead, kid is tests a wants to harness the potential of technology to make women's health care

affordable and accessible treadmill pain or the new era of digital health, where people are using their more about home to uh, you know, make purchases or talk to doctors or get their prescriptions free of books and smartphones and computers, women can consult doctors online to kind of help you with. i'm not feeling well like i have period. crumbs there really paid for. did you just help me on the side or like what, which medications effect. okay, so it means that i can use the cost of an online consultation like this is lower than one in person. you know, house hubs, women lives better lives, healthier lives. i think it empowers women to not be ashamed. i think it strips the way the stigma of, of a lot of a female related health health issues, but matters that are a to boot in the societies deal on a visa. so also use

a skinny health to have men screw up products and supplements, deliver directly to her home. the apps and online services often work better when they are develop, where they will actually be used, and ideally by people who will use them themselves. in this case, developed by women for women, spelt data protection and demo accessability up to areas in need of improvement. but in principle, digital technology really can help to break down to bose and prejudices. that's it for me. by the i g major difference this in many ways with
