Set up Mummy-Papa's medicine schedule from your phone — from Bangalore, Toronto, anywhere. They get a WhatsApp message or a voice call in Punjabi or Hindi at every dose. No app for them to learn. Miss a dose, and you know within the hour.
No app needed on your parents' phone — works even on a basic keypad phone.
How it works
DawaiDost is built on one belief: your parents shouldn't have to learn an app to stay healthy. All the setup happens on your phone; all they do is answer a familiar message or a phone call.
Snap a photo of the parchi — our AI reads it, handwritten or printed, and builds the schedule. Or add medicines by hand in under two minutes.
At every dose time, a warm WhatsApp message in their language. They tap 1 to confirm. No smartphone? A voice call does the same job.
A green tick for every dose taken. A missed dose? We retry, then alert you — and a backup contact if you're unreachable.
Try it yourself
Type it in and watch the exact message your mother or father would receive. This is not a mock-up — this is the real message format.
↑ This lands on their WhatsApp. They reply 1 — you get the tick.
Built for families like yours
Crores of our elders use simple keypad phones — and every other reminder service leaves them behind. DawaiDost places an automated voice call in their own language. They press 1, you get the confirmation. Works on a ₹1,500 phone in a village exactly like an iPhone in the city.
"Sat Sri Akal ji! Dawai da time ho gaya…"Handwritten or printed — upload the prescription and the schedule builds itself. You review and approve.
Asleep in another timezone? Alerts escalate to your sibling, a neighbour, or a relative nearby.
"Metformin strip runs out in 4 days." Order in time, every time — no emergency chemist runs.
Add your brother or sister to the same parent. Split the morning and evening watch.
Every Sunday: doses taken, doses missed, and any pattern worth noticing — as a short voice note in your language.
Ask DawaiDost to also collect BP or sugar readings weekly — Mummy replies with the number, you see the trend.
Who it's for
"It's 3 AM here when it's Papa's morning dose. DawaiDost watches so I can sleep — and wakes my chacha ji nearby if something's wrong, not me."
"Mummy says 'haan le li' on every call. Now I don't have to interrogate her — I just see the green ticks and we talk about better things."
"We stopped the 'did anyone check on Papa?' group chat chaos. Everyone sees the same dashboard. Sunday's voice note goes to all three of us."

Questions, answered
Nothing at all. Reminders arrive as normal WhatsApp messages in the WhatsApp they already use — or as a phone call if they use a keypad phone. All setup and management happens on your phone.
That's exactly why we built voice calls. DawaiDost places an automated call in Punjabi, Hindi, or English at each dose time. Your parent listens and presses 1 after taking the medicine. It works on any phone that can receive a call.
We remind again after 30 minutes. If there's still no confirmation, you get an instant alert on WhatsApp. If you've added a backup contact — a sibling, neighbour, or relative — and you don't respond either, we alert them too.
Yes. On the Parivaar plan you can add family members to the same parent. Everyone sees the same medicine schedule and adherence history, and you can decide who receives which alerts.
Medicine schedules and confirmations are visible only to the family members you add. We don't sell data, ever. Prescription photos are deleted after the schedule is extracted and approved by you.
No. DawaiDost is a reminder and alerting service — we relay the schedule your doctor prescribed, exactly as you enter it. We never suggest medicines or doses. Always consult your doctor for medical decisions.
DawaiDost opens soon to its first 100 families. Founding families get the Parivaar plan free for 3 months — and a direct line to the builder.
