KaiOS
Avert has been working with the feature phone operating system KaiOS since 2020
About the partnership
KaiOS runs on 160 million feature phones worldwide. Avert has been working with the feature phone operating system since 2020, to increase access to high quality, accessible sexual health information for those without smartphones. We have created a version of our Boost app on the KaiStore, making it freely available on KaiOS feature phones. The KaiOS version of Boost has all the same materials on HIV, sexual health and COVID-19 as the Android and web apps, adapted for use on feature phones. Avert is also a content development partner on the KaiOS Life app, that provides users with tools and resources on a range of topics including digital skills, health, education, and gender equality.
We are thrilled to count Avert amongst our partners. We are impressed by the prevention work they've done for AIDS and HIV since 1986 and are proud to tie with Avert to make their content accessible to an even larger segment of the population that has been left behind from digital revolution: Avert content on KaiOS allows smart feature phone users to gain access to prevention content about AIDS, HIV and now COVID-19.
