Chikitsa is a free AI-powered healthcare platform offering symptom checks, medicine info, OCR-based food analysis, legal guidance & more—built for ethical, accessible Indian healthcare. No cost, no limits. Because health should be free.
What if getting instant wellness support didn’t mean breaking the bank… or waiting in fear?
That’s why I created Chikitsa – a free, AI-powered wellness platform built for moments when help feels out of reach. Not a replacement for professionals — but your first step when you don’t know where else to turn.
In a country where millions delay care due to cost, distance, or confusion, Chikitsa offers:
No sign-up needed:
• Personalized lifestyle tips
• Food ingredient & supplement analyzer
• Wellness Budget Buddy (generic alternatives)
• Natural wellness advisor
• Wellness Support Navigator (community + subsidized options)
For logged-in users:
• Private family health logs
• Personalized wellness dashboard
• Track health trends (BP, weight, mood, more)
• Legal wellness rights & AI-powered assessments
• Emergency wellness tools & guidance
• Document & report organizer
No cost. No ads. No judgment. Just wellness — the way it should be.
If this mission resonates with you, I’d love your support. Feedback, ideas, or just a simple upvote means the world. Let’s make everyday wellness free and accessible for everyone.
Looks really amazing . good idea and will really help people in making wise decisions for their wellness journey
@dixshant_kumar_jha Thank you so much for the kind words! That’s exactly what Chikitsa aims for — to empower people with clarity and confidence in their wellness journey, especially when access to trusted support feels distant. Your encouragement truly fuels the mission!
It took us months to find the right balance and I’m so glad it’s connecting with the community.
@avery_bolton Avery, this means a lot coming from someone who understands the effort it takes to build balance into a platform. It took months of iteration to ensure that Chikitsa feels both deep and accessible, and it’s so rewarding to see it resonate. Thank you for being part of this movement!
This initiative is so important providing free access to medical and legal guidance is a significant step forward. How does Chikitsa manage situations where symptom checks suggest seeing a doctor? Do you guide users to offline or online professionals?
@jackson_wells
Thank you so much, Jackson — I genuinely appreciate you highlighting the heart of Chikitsa’s mission.
To clarify:
Chikitsa is not a diagnostic or treatment tool, and we’re very careful to communicate that it’s not a replacement for doctors. Instead, it's designed as a first-response wellness companion, especially for those moments when professional care feels out of reach due to cost, distance, or fear.
When a symptom check suggests something potentially serious or unclear, Chikitsa does not attempt to give a conclusive answer. Instead, it clearly advises users to seek medical attention and explains why it may be necessary.
Here’s what happens next:
Hospital Recommendations by PIN Code: We provide users with a list of nearby hospitals (public and private), clinics, or wellness centers in their locality.
Legal & Rights Guidance: If the user is unsure about their rights (for example, in a government hospital or with insurance), Chikitsa gives easy-to-understand legal information to help them proceed confidently.
Budget-Friendly Pathways: For those concerned about cost, our Wellness Support Navigator connects them to subsidized healthcare services, NGOs, or alternative affordable options in their region.
Emergency Readiness: In case of critical symptoms, Chikitsa also shares checklists and actionable steps they can follow before they reach care — not as medical advice, but as empowerment.
In future updates, we’re working toward suggesting verified telemedicine platforms users can connect with instantly.
In essence, Chikitsa acts like a calm, informed friend, guiding people to make better choices in real time — especially when they feel overwhelmed or alone.
Your question touches exactly what we’re solving for — thank you again for giving this initiative your attention!
How does the platform keep its medical or legal data up to date?
@samuel_kahlo Great question, Samuel!
We stay updated by regularly pulling information from reliable sources like government health portals, legal databases, and global organizations. Tools like web scraping and automated checks help us stay aligned with the latest public updates.
We’re not perfect — but we’re committed to staying current and transparent.
I really appreciate your time! Your feedback is what helps us improve and grow. Is this suitable for use in rural areas where internet bandwidth is low?
@jesus_porter Jesus, your question hits right at the heart of what we’re trying to solve. Chikitsa is designed to be ultra-lightweight and accessible—if someone can load a basic Google page, they can use Chikitsa. We’re also working on offline-first capabilities for regions with intermittent connectivity. Bringing useful, ethical healthcare to rural areas is not just a feature—it’s a goal we’re deeply committed to.
This is incredibly powerful but how does Chikitsa ensure user data privacy when providing legal and medical consultations especially with no signup or cost barriers?
@matthew_phillips4 Thank you for asking this, Matthew. Because privacy isn’t just a feature in Chikitsa—it’s a principle.
We believe trust is earned, not demanded through endless sign-ups or fine-print traps. That’s why:
1. No tracking. No hidden capture. Ever.
We don’t track what you do. We don’t analyze your clicks. We don’t sell your data. Because we don’t believe in building by betraying trust.
2. No sign-up required for 90% of Chikitsa.
You get food analysis, wellness suggestions, AI advice—without logging in or giving a single piece of personal data. Because we know the moment you’re asked to “sign up,” your guard goes up. We respect that.
3. Legal and health tools are real-time, not real-recorded.
You fill a health or legal form → you get an answer → it vanishes. Nothing is stored. Not even temporarily. No cloud storage. No surveillance.
4. The only time we ask you to sign up is when you want to track things over time—like BP or sugar levels. And even then, we’re working on ways to offer offline/local-only storage if possible. Because even data you choose to share should still belong to you.
Why all this effort?
Because I’m not a corporate. I’m a student. I’ve lived the frustration of not being able to afford or trust most “free” platforms. That’s why I built Chikitsa—to serve people like me. Just like I did with my other app, NoteFlow, where I gave away premium productivity features for free—because they deserved to be free.
If you're curious about the deeper reason behind Chikitsa’s existence—please do check the ‘About’ section in the app. It's not marketing. It’s my truth.
So yes, your data is safe. Not because we “encrypt” it—but because we don’t take it in the first place.
Chikitsa respects its users. No hidden tracking, no data resale, and complete control in your hands. That’s my promise.
