KDHRC Partners with Alelo to Create AI Avatar for MOMS Course

KDHRC is proud to partner with Alelo in creating a groundbreaking conversational artificial intelligence (AI) avatar to train community health workers (CHWs) through the Monitoring and Outreach for Maternal Safety (MOMS) Postpartum course. MOMS equips CHWs to support postpartum minority women, bridging healthcare gaps, and addressing maternal health disparities.

Using Alelo’s AI-powered Enskill platform, CHWs in the MOMs program will engage in realistic conversations with a simulated postpartum patient. These interactive scenarios allow CHWs to build essential outreach skills, such as recognizing symptoms of postpartum depression, addressing common barriers to care, and knowing when to refer mothers to medical professionals. CHWs will also develop critical communication skills like empathy and active listening, which are essential for effective maternal health support.

Dexter Cooper, KDHRC Project Manager for the MOMS Postpartum course, shared his experience with the innovative platform: “The Alelo Enskill program is an effective training tool that provides practical experiences for the user. Interacting with the avatar simulation is easy and self-explanatory. The assessment feature after completing the simulation is valuable, in that it provides the user with information about what they did well and areas they can improve on.”

We believe that this innovative approach will empower CHWs to provide compassionate, culturally tailored care to minority mothers, helping to reduce maternal health disparities and improve outcomes for mothers and their families. Stay tuned for more updates on this impactful collaboration!
