A Real-Time IVR Platform for Community Radio
summary
A real-time IVR platform called Sehat ki Vaani connects an Android host app to low-end phones via a FreeSWITCH backend, enabling live community radio on diabetes and maternal health; the team deploys it near Chandigarh with 31 participants and sees more registered listeners and an increase in callers, but faces chaotic overlapping audio, black holes where no callers respond, and a case of a 12-minute wait that causes dropouts. Design lessons: clearer host UI, oral status cues, and prerecording to fill gaps.
