Sakhi Swastyay — A Digital Companion For her menstrual journey

Abstract Reproductive health disorders such as Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) are increasingly prevalent among young women, particularly in India, where cultural stigma, lack of awareness, and delayed diagnosis exacerbate both physical and psychological consequences. Existing healthcare approaches and digital solutions often remain fragmented, generic, and inaccessible to diverse populations. This paper presents Sakhi Swastyay, a comprehensive and inclusive digital platform designed to support menstrual health awareness and early recognition of PCOD/PCOS. The platform integrates key features such as menstrual cycle tracking, AI-driven meal planning, self-assessment tools, wellness quizzes, appointment scheduling, nearby healthcare facility locators, an AI conversational assistant, and a digital health magazine. By combining medical guidance with emotional and lifestyle support, Sakhi Swastyay adopts a holistic and user-centric approach to reproductive health management. The study highlights the platform’s design framework, accessibility focus, and potential scalability within educational institutions and community health programs. Sakhi Swastyay aims to empower young women, reduce stigma surrounding menstrual health, and promote timely medical intervention, thereby contributing to improved reproductive health outcomes and informed decision-making.
