Detailed Description

The project "Supporting Treatment of People Living with HIV/AIDS in Resource-Limited Settings with IVRs" was led by Prof. Anirudha Joshi from the Industrial Design Centre (IDC), IIT Bombay. The project focusses on using Interactive Voice Response (IVR) technology to provide support to people living with HIV/AIDS in resource-constrained environments, where access to healthcare infrastructure and medical support may be limited. IVR (Interactive Voice Response) is a technology that allows users to interact with a system through voice commands and key presses. In this project, IVR was used to provide automated voice-based support to people living with HIV/AIDS. The IVR system was designed to be multilingual, offering support in local languages to ensure that patients could understand the information provided. This was crucial in regions where multiple languages are spoken and literacy rates may be low. The project involved close collaboration with local healthcare providers and NGOs working with HIV/AIDS patients. This ensured that the system was tailored to the specific needs of the patient population and integrated with existing healthcare services.
