World Health Organization launches AI tool for reproductive health information
ChatHRP is designed to support policy-makers, researchers and health workers by delivering evidence-based responses.
The World Health Organization and partners have launched ChatHRP, an AI-assisted tool designed to provide fast access to verified information on sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Developed under the HRP research programme, the system is aimed at supporting evidence-based decision-making in a field where misinformation remains a persistent challenge.
ChatHRP uses advanced natural language processing and retrieval-based AI to deliver referenced answers drawn exclusively from WHO and HRP materials.
The tool is designed for policy-makers, researchers, health workers and civil society organisations, helping them quickly navigate complex scientific and policy information without fragmented sources.
Built for global accessibility, the platform includes multilingual functionality and low-bandwidth optimisation to ensure usability in resource-limited settings. Its structure prioritises accuracy and transparency, with responses linked directly to validated research and guidance that is regularly updated.
The beta phase focuses on professional use cases, where users can query topics such as maternal health, contraception and disease management.
Why does it matter?
The initiative directly improves access to reliable, evidence-based health information in a field where misinformation can influence policy and health outcomes. By centralising verified sources and reducing reliance on fragmented or unverified material, it supports faster, more consistent decision-making across healthcare, research and policy environments globally.
