What has to be true before this system can help?
A person may have a question about pregnancy, an STI or another health need and may only have access to a basic phone. The service must provide reviewed information, clear choices and a referral path without treating a probabilistic model as a medical authority.
People need a low-barrier way to reach reliable health information, understand their next action and find appropriate referral or human support.
What the system does when the work happens
The USSD callback creates or loads a session, reads its current state and validates the next input. The state machine renders active health content, accepts location and service information for facility search, records referrals and sends a person toward human support when that is the appropriate next step.
The service gives reviewed information and explicit next steps; it does not diagnose. Phone numbers stay in session or support records, while analytics events retain the health and referral context without exposing them.
The research behind the system
Health information is only useful when people can reach it, understand what to do next and find a pathway to human support when needed.
The work this system supports
The research unit connected to this system describes the work it is intended to help people carry out.
Technology behind the system
These capabilities make the system's work possible without replacing the people, rules and records that give it meaning.
