Self-Cav: AI lifestyle companion for HIV, SRH, & mental health
Self-Cav: AI lifestyle companion for HIV, SRH, & mental health
In partnership with South Africa’s National Department of Health (NDoH) and SHOUT-IT-NOW, Audere has developed Self-Cav, a confidential and judgment-free lifestyle AI companion available on WhatsApp. Self-Cav provides easy access to reliable guidance on sexual and mental health, HIV prevention and treatment, and pathways to care. The service is co-designed, developed, and maintained with community members, advocacy organizations, the NDoH BWise campaign and team, community and public health delivery partners, and Department of Education collaborators.
Self-Cav runs on Audere’s shared Self-Care platform including AI services, clinician tools, hybrid monitoring and evaluation framework, and secure backend. The common platform allows continuous improvement informed by co-design, studies, and live program learning, while keeping costs lower and reliability higher than standalone tools.
