Someone checks in on them, every morning.

A short, warm phone call in their own language. You get a message afterwards telling you how they really are — and a call straight away if something is wrong.

This is where the daily update arrives, so we check it works before anything else. We text you a code — no password to remember.

This is the name they will hear. We introduce ourselves as your assistant — never as a person, and never as a doctor.

Hindi and most Indian languages change the verb depending on who is speaking and who is listening. Getting this right is the difference between warmth and something that sounds wrong in the first sentence.

Only used to gently remind them of advice their own doctor already gave. We never diagnose, never suggest medicines, and never change a dose.

Now ask them for the code.

We have sent them a message in their own language. It says you would like Meenira to call, how often, that the call is written down so you can be told how they are, and that if they agree they should give you a six-digit code. Nothing is called until they do.

Message not arriving?
If they would rather not, do nothing. No call will ever be made. You can come back to this from your own page — go there now.
