ANKASMART!
is a digitally innovative project that aims to help adolescents raise awareness about their sexual and reproductive health. By providing resources and evidence-based information to users, we hope to encourage them to make smart decisions about their sexual and reproductive health, and seek professional help if they encounter circumstances that they are not equipped for. By educating young people about topics that may not be commonly discussed in their immediate social circles, or that are not taught in their educational institutions, we provide them with the tools and knowledge to be autonomous. This project consists of a wearable device that tracks data such as vital signs and clinical symptoms. The wearable device links users to a smartphone-based application that gathers and stores the data, enabling users to monitor this data and observe trends. The user can also track their menstrual cycle to determine factors that coincide between their cycle and the symptoms that are present throughout the month. The app provides access to evidence-based health information, as well as linkages to local health services.
The AnkaSmart! App allows you to track your period during menstruation, and all symptoms, moods, and information that you wish to provide to have a complete picture of your menstrual cycle. By tracking these various components, we hope that you gain insights into your cycle. Using this information, you can make informed decisions and seek professional advice if it seems as though your body or cycle is out of the ordinary. We have provided you with countless resources and summaries of some of the most important sexual and reproductive health topics, so that you can learn more about puberty, contraception, sexually transmitted infections, and other topics that are not openly discussed.
The wearable device is linked to our smartphone application, so that the vitals and clinical symptoms that your body undergoes on a daily basis can be tracked alongside your period. The number of steps that you take, your heart rate, your blood pressure, and more, will be recorded by the wearable, to provide you with further insights about your health. By linking these components to your menstrual cycle, you will gain a holistic understanding about which factors may be contributing to changes in your cycle.
