For families
Worried about a parent?
You can arrange everything for them: register, book, pay and join the call, from wherever you live.
Book for a parent from anywhere
One account can hold several family members. You can book, pay and manage appointments for a parent even if you live in another city or abroad.
Join the call together
You can join the video consultation from your own device. What families notice at home is an important part of the assessment.
Times shown in Indian time
All appointment times are shown in Indian Standard Time (IST), so there is no confusion across time zones.
Signs that deserve attention
These changes are easy to put down to age. If you have noticed several of them for more than two weeks, a consultation is worthwhile.
- Repeating the same question many times in a short while
- Losing interest in prayer, walks, grandchildren or favourite programmes
- Eating or sleeping much less, or much more, than usual
- New suspicion, anger or fear without a clear reason
- Mistakes with money or medicines that never used to happen
- Saying they are a burden or that life is not worth living

Before the call

- Have old prescriptions and reports ready.
- Help your parent settle in a quiet, well-lit room with the phone or laptop propped up.
