Currently in development — launching 2026
My child has fever and cough for 3 days

Based on your answers, this seems like a common cold. Here's what you can do at home...
500 million people lack healthcare access
In rural India, the doctor-to-patient ratio is less than 1:1,000. Families travel 30+ km for basic consultations, spending money they don't have on transport — only to wait hours or be turned away.
Delayed diagnoses lead to preventable deaths. The healthcare system is overwhelmed. Something has to change.

Symtho brings the doctor to you
Symtho is an AI health triage assistant that works directly in WhatsApp — no app download, no registration, no payment.
Users describe their symptoms via text or voice in their local language. Our AI asks follow-up questions, assesses urgency using medical protocols (ICD-11/IMCI), and guides them to the right care: self-treatment, pharmacy visit, telemedicine, or emergency services.
