Project Name: Itanong Kay Ma'am Melba
Partner: URC / USAID
MELBA is a virtual midwife powered by interactive voice response (IVR) technology. It provides information on keeping mothers and babies safe and healthy during pregnancy. MELBA can be accessed by sending a SMS to a designated mobile number. MELBA will then call back the user and deliver messages related to maternal and child health.
MELBA can be implemented in low resource settings to deliver on-demand health information in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas. The IVR technology that supports MELBA can also be customized to deliver other health information for the treatment and management of other diseases like tuberculosis, HIV and others.

Project Name: U4U
Partner: CHSI / POPCOM
Teen pregnancy rates have seen a significant rise over the years with current figures reflecting that about 11% of girls between the ages of 13 and 19 are getting pregnant. In a country where 9 in 10 people own a mobile phone, electronic and mobile technologies offer an opportunity to reach teens with accurate information in adolescent sexuality and reproductive health (ASRH).
The You-for-Youth: Youth Hub for Filipino Teens is an IVR-supported solution that is designed to delivers age-appropriate ASRH messages to target populations. One key objective of this project is to provide teens with accurate and appealing messages that will help them delay sexual debut, prevent teen pregnancy, avoid sexually transmitted infections, complete schooling and encourage economic productivity.
