The short answer

Yes. mydawAI is a WhatsApp medicine reminder service: every dose arrives as a WhatsApp message with a single Taken button, and Chintu, the mydawAI koala, answers questions about your medicines right in the chat. It works for your whole family in English or Hindi and is free during beta.

Is there a WhatsApp bot that reminds you to take medicine?

Yes. mydawAI sends medicine reminders on WhatsApp, with one Taken button on every message. You set up your medicines once, and from then on each dose arrives as a WhatsApp message at the time your doctor prescribed.

Many people search for a "WhatsApp bot for medicine reminders" because they already live in WhatsApp. It is where family groups, school updates and work chats happen. A reminder there is far harder to miss than a notification from an app you opened once and forgot. mydawAI was built around that idea from day one.

How does the mydawAI WhatsApp reminder work?

You add your medicines in the mydawAI web app, connect your WhatsApp number, and the reminders start. Each message names the medicine and the dose, and has a single Taken button.

  1. Sign up free at app.mydawai.in.
  2. Add your medicines by snapping a prescription photo, uploading a PDF, sending a voice note in English or Hindi, or typing them in.
  3. Check what mydawAI read. It asks follow-up questions for anything missing, such as a time or a dose, and nothing is saved until you confirm.
  4. Connect your WhatsApp number with a quick confirmation tap.
  5. Get reminders on WhatsApp and tap Taken when you have had the dose.

A dose can be marked taken from 30 minutes before its time, and only on its own day, so your record stays honest.

Can I chat with the mydawAI bot on WhatsApp?

Yes. Chintu, the mydawAI koala, replies to your messages on WhatsApp. You can ask things like "what do I take tonight?" or "when is my next dose?" and get an answer based on your own schedule.

Chintu can also make changes for the account holder after asking you to confirm, such as adding a medicine or changing a time. It can share general, well-established information about the medicines on your list. It never diagnoses, never changes or approves a dose on its own judgement, and always points you to your doctor or pharmacist for medical decisions. For anything urgent, call your doctor or 112.

Can the WhatsApp bot remind my parents too?

Yes. Add them to your Care Circle and mydawAI reminds them on their own WhatsApp after they agree. There is no limit on family members.

Your parents do not need to install anything or create an account. They get a message, tap to agree, and from then on their reminders come to their phone with the same one-tap Taken button. If they miss a dose, mydawAI can send a reminder again and then alert you, so you know when to call. Read more in the Care Circle guide.

What else does the mydawAI WhatsApp service do?

Beyond reminders, mydawAI tracks stock and can reorder from your local chemist after you say yes.

  • Stock count: every Taken tap reduces the count, so you see when a strip is running low.
  • Auto-refill: when stock is low, Chintu asks you on WhatsApp first. Only when you reply "Yes" does the order go to your own local pharmacy on their WhatsApp, with the prescription, during 9 AM to 6 PM.
  • Weekly medicines: reminders can be daily or on chosen days of the week.
  • Two languages: English or Hindi, chosen separately for each person.

Is a WhatsApp medicine reminder bot safe?

mydawAI encrypts your medicine data at rest with AES-256 and hosts it on AWS in Mumbai. Uploaded prescriptions are encrypted before they are stored. Your data is not sold or used for advertising.
