For the Indian diaspora

A clear view of your parents’ health, from anywhere.

Apta turns your parents’ scattered lab reports, prescriptions and appointments into one clear timeline — so trends get noticed and nothing gets missed by the doctors who see them.

Trending up

Apta flagged this. Four reports, four different visits — the climb only shows up when you line them up. A specialist adjusted the diabetes medication.

Why we built this

The distance isn’t the hard part. The missing picture is.

When you live an ocean away, you don’t get to glance at the fridge full of medicines or sit in the waiting room. You get a phone call. And a phone call can’t show you a number that’s been quietly climbing for three years.

“Everything is fine, don’t worry.”

The reassurance on the call is real — and it’s also not the full picture. Nobody’s hiding anything; the details just don’t travel well over WhatsApp.

Four specialists, four islands.

The cardiologist doesn’t see the nephrologist’s numbers. The diabetologist never hears about the kidney trend. Each visit starts from scratch.

The reports live in a drawer.

Paper folders, lab PDFs on WhatsApp, a prescription photographed once and lost. When it matters, no one can find the last one — let alone the one from two years ago.

A true story

One rising number, caught four years late.

My father’s creatinine went from 1.4 to 2.02 over four years. His diabetes medicines were never changed — he didn’t mention the kidney numbers to each doctor, assuming they were unrelated.

When I finally lined up the reports myself, the trend was obvious in ten seconds. We saw a specialist. The medication changed that week.

Apta exists so that ten-second look happens automatically — every time a new report comes in.

2022
Creatinine 1.4 — noted, not discussed. Within range on that report’s scale.
2024
1.63 at a routine test. A different lab, a different visit. Still no flag.
2026
2.02. The diabetes medication had never been revisited — because the trend was never in the room.

How it works

Set up in an afternoon. Useful for years.

Reports come in however suits your parents

They forward a lab report by email, or send a photo to Apta’s WhatsApp number — no account needed. Or they sign in with their mobile number and add readings themselves. Whatever they’ll actually keep doing.

Apta reads it and builds the timeline

Every value is pulled out, matched to the right marker across labs and units, and placed on a running timeline. You confirm anything the read isn’t sure about — the original is always one tap away.

You watch the trends — and so can they

Markers move on one timeline over years. Your parent can sign in with their mobile number to add their own blood pressure and sugar. Everyone who should see it, does.

Walk into the appointment ready

The Doctor's View shows every marker by date, current medicines and a short summary. Share a link the doctor opens on their phone — no login — before or during the visit.

Apta organises information for you and your parents’ doctors. It is not a medical device and does not provide diagnosis or treatment.

What Apta does

Every gap between you and their care, closed.

Every report is in a different place — a folder in Chennai, my WhatsApp, an email from the lab.

Your parents forward what they get, by email or to Apta's WhatsApp number. Apta reads it and files every value on one timeline — ordered by the date on the report, so a 2020 result uploaded today still lands where it belongs.

The lab emails the report as a password-locked PDF, and half of what my parents send are photos taken on their phone.

Apta opens the password-protected PDFs Indian labs send — you enter the password once and it's never saved. Every upload is scanned for malware, and photos have their location and camera data stripped before anything is stored.

One lab writes ‘S. Creatinine’, another ‘Creatinine (Serum)’, and the units don't match. I can't tell if it went up.

Apta matches the same test across labs and units and draws one line. You see the trend, not a stack of PDFs — and every value shows the original next to it.

A number climbed for years and nobody flagged it, because no single visit showed the whole picture.

Plain-language insights point out what has moved, what's outside the range printed on the report, and what's overdue for a recheck — as observations and questions for the doctor, never a diagnosis.

I'm looking at a wall of numbers and I don't know which ones matter or what I should be asking about.

Ask Apta in plain words — “what do her recent trends show?”, “she's been very tired, is anything on record related?”. It answers only from what's on her timeline, turns it into questions to raise with the doctor, and never diagnoses. Nothing you type is stored.

I have to remind my parents to check their BP, and I still don't get to see the readings.

Your parent gets their own simple sign-in — mobile number and a one-time code — to note their blood pressure and blood sugar, with gentle reminders. Their readings appear on the same timeline you're watching.

The appointment is ten minutes and starts from zero every time.

The Doctor's View lays out every marker as a row and every test date as a column, with current medicines and a short summary on top. Share a link and the doctor opens it on their phone — no login — before or during the visit.

His diabetes medicine changed twice this year and I've lost track of what he's actually on.

A prescription tracker that keeps every version. A dose change closes the old entry and opens a new one, so ‘what is he taking, and since when’ always has an answer.

If something happens, the hospital asks blood group, allergies, insurance, who to call — and I'm 10,000 km away.

A one-glance emergency card: blood group, allergies, conditions, current medicines, insurance, local contacts. Print it for the fridge, or pull it up on your phone.

My sister and I both worry, both call, and still miss things between us.

Invite siblings and relatives. Choose, per person, which parent they can see and whether they can add reports. Everyone works from the same picture.

Three of us have access now, and I can't tell who changed a medicine or who's actually keeping an eye on things.

An activity log records every change and every view of the record — who, what, and when — so nothing happens to your parent's file without someone being able to see it.

Apta organises information for you and your parents’ doctors. It is not a medical device and does not provide diagnosis or treatment.

Security is the product

You’re trusting us with the most private thing a family has. We treat it that way.

Data protection isn’t a section in our settings screen — it’s the first thing every feature is measured against. If something can’t be built safely, we don’t build it.

Stored in India, encrypted

Health records live on infrastructure inside India — a Mumbai-region database and private document storage — encrypted at rest and in transit, in line with the DPDP Act.

Consent-first, always

Your parent decides what is shared and with whom, and can withdraw it at any time. Access is scoped to the family members you explicitly link — nothing wider.

Support access is limited

Our team can see health data only when needed to help you or fix a problem — never for any other purpose. We're building toward full, time-boxed audit logging for that access as the product grows.

The AI sees the minimum

Documents are read on no-training, no-retention routes; the chat assistant only ever gets de-identified values, never names. Every AI-read value is marked “verify against original”.

A note from the founder

I built Apta because I was tired of the 3 a.m. worry — the fear that something was changing with my parents’ health and I’d be the last to know. I’m building it for my own family first, and using it every week.

Questions

Good things to ask before you sign up.

As little or as much as they like. The minimum is forwarding a lab report by email or WhatsApp — no account, nothing to install. If they want to track their own blood pressure and blood sugar, they sign in with their mobile number and a one-time code to a simple screen made just for that: no reports, no settings, just readings. It runs in the browser — there’s no app-store download.

Yes. From the Doctor’s View you create a link and send it through any app on your phone. The doctor opens it in a browser — no account — and sees the markers-by-date table, current medicines and your summary. Links expire after 30 days and you can revoke one at any time.

Any lab. If it produces a PDF or a printout, Apta can read it. Reports from the large chains (Dr Lal, Metropolis, Thyrocare, SRL) work especially cleanly; handwritten prescriptions are best-effort and you’ll be asked to confirm. Password-protected PDFs are handled too — you enter the password once and it is never stored.

A read-only explainer. It only ever talks about the person whose record is open, works from the values, trends and medicines already on their timeline, and frames what it finds as questions to bring to the doctor. It does not diagnose, does not give medication advice, and the conversation is never stored. If something sounds urgent it will tell you to seek care rather than answer.

Yes. Every file is scanned for malware before it is stored, photos have their GPS and camera metadata stripped, and PDFs are rebuilt to remove anything active. Files live in encrypted storage inside India and are only ever served back through an access check.

No. Apta organises your parents’ health history and helps you prepare for their doctor visits. It doesn’t diagnose, doesn’t recommend treatment, and doesn’t replace a clinician’s judgement.

On infrastructure inside India — a Mumbai-region database and private file storage — encrypted at rest and in transit, aligned with the DPDP Act. Access is consent-scoped, and our own team can see health data only when needed to help you or fix a problem. The one thing that crosses a border is a document being read by the extraction AI, and only while it is being processed.

With your mobile number and a one-time code or your Google account. There are no passwords to set or forget. Your session is verified on our servers on every request.

Apta is free while we’re in early access. When we introduce pricing it will be a subscription — this is a service, not just storage — and early members will hear well in advance and keep preferential rates.
