What a family health app should do
Looking after other people's health usually means scattered notes: your mother's tablets in one chat, your son's last blood test in a photo gallery, your partner's allergy in your head. A family health app should keep each person's details together, keep them apart from everyone else's, and use them when you ask a question.
In Saluvo, every person is a profile inside your account. You can have up to 8, including your own. Switch to a profile and everything you do next belongs to that person.
What each profile holds
- About them: name, relation to you, year of birth, health conditions, allergies and regular medicines.
- Chats: every conversation you have while their profile is active.
- Lab reports: reports you upload for them, with the plain-language explanation.
- Medicines: strips, bottles and boxes you photographed for them.
- Reminders: their doses, doctor visits and lab tests.
When you ask a question, Saluvo tells the AI who it's about: for example, your parent, aged 68, with diabetes and high blood pressure, taking metformin and amlodipine, and allergic to penicillin. The answer can then mention what's different at that age or with those medicines, and point to the right kind of doctor.
Managing your parents' health from one account
Many people search for a family health app because a parent's care has quietly become their job. Here is how Saluvo fits into that.
Before and after doctor visits
Switch to your parent, describe what's changed and ask what to bring up with the doctor. Set a doctor visit reminder, and if WhatsApp is linked, you'll get a check-in the morning after asking whether the visit happened.
Lab reports
Upload their report under their profile. Saluvo explains each value in plain words, with their age and conditions in mind, and suggests questions for the doctor. Their reports stay in their profile, separate from yours.
Medicines and reminders
Keep their regular medicines up to date in the profile. Add reminders for each dose. Because one account has one linked WhatsApp number, reminders for every profile come to your WhatsApp, so you can call and check in. Add their name to each reminder, like "Papa: metformin", so you know whose dose it is.
Being a caregiver, fairly
If you're adding another adult, ask them first. They're trusting you with private details, and it helps if they know what's in their profile and why. Keep conditions and medicines current after each doctor visit, since out-of-date details lead to answers that don't fit.
What Saluvo doesn't do
Saluvo is one account run by one person. Family members can't log in to it separately, and two accounts can't share profiles, so if you and a sibling share a parent's care, one of you holds the profile. Saluvo also doesn't connect to hospitals or patient portals; you add details and reports yourself.
Removing a profile deletes everything in it: chats, reports, medicines and reminders. Your own profile can't be removed; to delete it, you delete the account.
What it costs
Adding family profiles is free. Each action uses credits from your one balance, at the usual rates, each charged at 3 times what it cost us: in Normal mode about 0.1 of a credit for a chat answer, under half a credit for a lab report and about 0.1 for a medicine photo, and more in Pro. New accounts get 30 free credits after confirming their email, and credits never expire.
