The eC-Card App: Your Digital Solution to Facilitate Free Condom Distribution

The condom card app for sexual health services

eC-Card App

The customisable smartphone app for free condoms and sexual health resources

The eC-Card is a first of its kind smartphone app that enables sexual health service providers to offer free condoms to young people, making access to sexual health resources easier than ever before.

l Extensive data collection

The app also gathers large volumes of valuable local data for sexual health service providers. This includes where it’s being used – which can help control supply – as well as which venues are distributing the most condoms, to help manage inventory audits. There is also the potential to compare data from the eC-Card with other statistics, such as teenage pregnancies and STIs.

How the eC-Card app works for service users

The app can be downloaded on any smartphone from Google Play or Apple’s App Store.

After accepting the terms and conditions, new users are asked to enter their mobile number to which a one-time password is texted.

They are then asked to enter their postcode, date of birth and gender (optional).

Users can be asked to watch videos or complete quizzes, all defined by the service provider. The user can be required to complete them before continuing.

The app will ask permission to use the smartphone’s location before presenting a live map of local collection points. Users can also search locations manually.

The app integrates with the smartphone’s location to show live directions to the selected collection point.

At the collection point, the user taps the ‘Scanner’ button to use their device’s camera to scan the QR code to receive their discreet package of condoms.

The user’s allowance is updated depending on the parameters set.

Launch

We’re here to help you hit the ground running including comprehensive marketing support and advice.

Through the data gathered from scanned QR codes, stock levels are constantly monitored and prompt automatic resupply.

Data can also be used by the sexual health service to identify trends, increase supply and compare results with STI rates and other data.

To help support the launch of your eC-Card app, we can provide tailored marketing support including:

• Customised flyers, posters and leaflets

• Branded press release templates and letterheads

• Official forms, logos and documents

Flexible and affordable cost structure

No two sexual health services are the same. So instead of a flat rate, we will break down individual costs and help you choose what is needed for your local area.
