Family medicine reminders on Telegram
Medicine reminders that reach the person taking the dose and report back to the family who worries about it. Runs entirely inside Telegram in English, Hindi, and Marathi — no app to install.
Adherence fails in ordinary ways: a dose is forgotten, nobody notices, and the family two cities away finds out at the next appointment. The tooling that exists assumes a smartphone-comfortable user willing to install and configure an app.
DawaSaathi assumes only Telegram. A schedule is set once, reminders arrive with a photo of the actual medicine so the right strip is picked up, and a tap marks the dose taken. Missed doses notify the family members who asked to be told — the loop closes without anyone having to ask.

Photo-based reminders
Each reminder carries a picture of the medicine, which removes the ambiguity that text-only reminders leave for anyone managing several similar strips.
Taken and missed reporting
One tap confirms a dose. A missed dose escalates to the family members registered for that person, so absence of a signal is itself a signal.
Multilingual by default
English, Hindi, and Marathi throughout, chosen per person rather than per family, because the caregiver and the patient often do not share a preference.
Zero install
Runs inside Telegram, which for this audience is the difference between a tool that gets adopted and one that gets abandoned during setup.
