A Simple Healthcare App for Senior Citizens
HealthSaathi is an easy-to-use Android app designed for senior citizens to simplify healthcare. It helps users order medicines by uploading prescriptions, call their doctor with a single tap, and share their location instantly during emergencies.
We built this app with simplicity and usability in mind, ensuring that seniors can access essential healthcare services without any hassle.
