Planned Parenthood recently
launched Planned Parenthood
Direct, a mobile app that
allows New Yorkers to receive
birth control pills and urinary
tract infection (UTI) treatment
through their phones.
What does the new Planned
Parenthood Direct app do?
Some kinds of reproductive
health care are more
straightforward than others,
like deciding to use birth
control pills or determining
if you have a UTI and getting
treated. PP Direct is a new
smartphone app for requesting
birth control pills and obtaining
treatment for UTIs.
What inspired its creation?
In the age of Uber, GrubHub, and
Amazon, we felt it was time to offer
New Yorkers two of our most popular
and most urgent services – birth
control and UTI treatment – from
the comfort of their homes, offices,
cars or even yoga classes.
What is its goal? The goal of
PP Direct is to provide remote
access to services and prescriptions
to returning and new patients,
expanding access to sexual and
reproductive health care. PP Direct
is also a great way to introduce
people to all the services Planned
Parenthood provides.
What kind of feedback have
you gotten in response to its
launch? The response has been
tremendous. The app has been
launching state by state across the
country, and New Yorkers
have gone out of their way
to share their excitement
through many App Store
reviews.
How many downloads has
the app gotten since it was
launched? Nationally, 150,000
users have downloaded the
app; 60,000-plus of which have
created an account.
What else should readers
know about it? Every day, as
each person downloads PP
Direct, they become a part
of the Planned Parenthood
community, which includes
more than 14,000 patients in
Nassau County. As time goes on,
we plan to expand services and
coverage through PP Direct.
PP Direct is available
for iOs and Android.
