The regional Planned Parenthood announced the launch of Planned Parenthood Care™ in Hawaii on Monday.

The app, according to a press release, allows people to talk to a Planned Parenthood provider online and face-to-face “through a secure video consultation system, and then receive birth control in the mail. Consultation for urinary tract infections is also available.”

The mobile app, says PP, will bring reproductive health care services “directly to women and men across the state.”

“Hawaii is uniquely positioned to benefit from this service given the geography of this great state and the limited access to local health centers,” said Sonia Blackiston, Hawaii Education Manager at the regional PP office. “This app allows people to consult with a physician in real time via video on their device and determine what makes the most sense for them. It provides convenient access to Planned Parenthood’s trusted, high quality health care.”
