Effective Digital Health Platform for Sexual and Reproductive Health & Rights (SRHR) Services: A Mixed-methods Approach to Understanding User Experiences, Needs, and Rights in Bangladesh

Abstract

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bangladesh witnessed an enormous rise in digital health adoption, demonstrating a step towards digitalization. However, this transition unveiled a significant concern: the susceptibility of digital platforms to misinformation, particularly in sensitive fields such as Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH). Adolescents and young adults aged 15-30, in particular, encounter a dearth of accessible and accurate SRH information and services. Addressing these challenges forms the foundation of the project, which aims to comprehensively understand the user experience, needs, and challenges when using digital health platforms. By navigating Bangladesh's digital landscape, aligning policies with emerging needs, and emphasizing SRH education, a sustainable digital health system can be developed to ensure the well-being of all.
