Virtual Nurse - Birth Control

Helping women answer the question “Do I need to see the doctor?”

In this free trial version of the Virtual Nurse app Alice will answer questions to help you find the right kind of birth control. It's powered by content developed by Harvard Medical School.

Alice, our virtual nurse, helps you answer the question "Do I need to see a doctor?" by asking you a series of questions developed by our medical partner, one of the world’s top medical schools.

How it works:

There are two ways you can interact with Alice. You can use the touchscreen to select options or you can press the microphone and talk to her, just like Siri. She will ask you a series of questions to establish a prognosis, with one of three possible recommendations:

1) This is an emergency and you should go straight to the ER. Alice will provide information on the nearest Emergency Room

2) This is something which does require a doctor’s attention, perhaps you need a prescription or further tests are required. There is an option to call a doctor directly from the app if this is required

3) There is no need to seek formal medical attention, depending on the condition Alice may provide further information on what treatment could help

The free version provides information on what kind of birth control (contraception) you should be using. The app also allows you to upgrade to full version which helps you answer the question “Do I need to see a doctor?” for topics related to womens sexual health. If you upgrade you also get access to the following decision guides:
