How OkayFolk works

You set it up once. Your parent just replies on WhatsApp. You only hear from us when something needs you.

1. Add your parent

Name, WhatsApp number, town and timezone. Their private big-button page is ready straight away, in English, हिन्दी, தமிழ் or ગુજરાતી.

2. Add their medicines

Take a photo of the prescription or type the medicines. OkayFolk reads the names, strengths and times, and you check every line before anything starts.

3. They get a WhatsApp message

At their local time: "Time for Metformin 500 mg, after food." They tap Taken. Each morning they tap I'm okay, Call me, or I need help.

If there's no reply

We nudge them first. Still nothing? You and your brothers and sisters are told on WhatsApp, phone notification and email at once. Then a backup contact nearby.

If something happens outside

Their QR Pass on the wallet, bag or phone lock screen shows a stranger how to help and who to call, and tells you it was scanned.

When it matters most

SOS alerts everyone at once with their location. A neighbour can tap "I'm going" so the family knows help is on the way.

Questions

Does my parent need a smartphone?

They need WhatsApp. Everything else is optional.
