Medicine reminders on WhatsApp - no app needed

Every reminder app has the same flaw: someone has to install it, open it, and keep using it. DailyDawa works on the one app your family already opens every day - WhatsApp.

Set up reminders

Why WhatsApp instead of a reminder app?

If you are setting up reminders for an elderly parent, an app is a barrier: it needs installing, learning, granting permissions, and remembering to open. Most parents stop using reminder apps within weeks - and then nobody knows a dose was missed.

A WhatsApp message needs none of that. It arrives like any message from family. Your parent reads it and taps a single button - TAKEN or SKIPPED. That is the entire experience. No install, no login, no new habit to learn.

The part no reminder can do: someone finds out

A reminder that gets ignored is silence. DailyDawa escalates: if there is no reply within 30 minutes, the family member you choose gets a WhatsApp alert. That is the difference between a reminder and peace of mind - you are not wondering whether Ma took her evening dose; you know.

How it works

  1. You add the medicines and times online - takes about 2 minutes.
  2. Your parent gets a WhatsApp at each dose time, in English or Hindi.
  3. They tap TAKEN. If they do not, you get an alert.
