Plan A

Plan A was built to help patients and providers select the best form of contraception. There are two features: the first for women who are looking to start a birth control method and the second for women who are trying to change their current birth control pill after experiencing side effects.

TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGY USED
  • Ruby on Rails
  • Zapier (to help with automation)
  • Postgres Database
  • Paperform (for data collection)

What We Did

Plan A was borne out of a collaboration with pharmacists at UCSF. The result was a small web application that fills a void: prescribing the correct contraception to women based on their individual needs.
