The new chatbot specialized in menstrual health and menopause seeks to transform the way people who menstruate relate to their body and their health, offering accurate, free, and timely information and guidance on the menstrual cycle.
Talking about menstruation and menopause remains taboo in many parts of Latin America. One in four girls do not understand what is happening when she menstruates for the first time, and many girls stop attending school during their period. Then there is the invisibility of menopause, a normal biological process that is often ignored by health systems, leaving women without clear answers or support during a period of major physical and emotional changes.
Pro Mujer continues to focus on innovative solutions to share information and destigmatize menstruation and menopause. Accessible from any mobile phone, the new menstrual health and menopause chatbot is a free conversational tool that allows users to access evidence-based, expert information with a gender perspective.
The chatbot is able to answer questions about symptoms, menstrual cycles, hormonal changes, mental health, and, as needed, connect users with specialized medical care. The chatbot will initially be available in Argentina, Bolivia, Guatemala, Mexico, and Nicaragua. The chatbot design was informed by the real needs of Latin American women, collected through surveys, community workshops, and previous experiences with other Pro Mujer chatbots focused on breast cancer, diabetes, and sexual and reproductive health.
The launch of this new chatbot reflects Pro Mujer’s expertise in developing digital health solutions. In 2024 alone, more than 16,000 women interacted with the organization’s chatbots on breast cancer, sexual and reproductive health, and diabetes, easily accessing reliable information and timely health care referrals.
This new chatbot reinforces Pro Mujer’s commitment to women’s right to health, raising awareness of the challenges they face and offering real, empathetic, and culturally relevant solutions. The chatbot not only provides information; it also provides support and security and connects women with the services they need.
