Hi everyone! I've been building OneAid for the past two years: software that runs the day-to-day of a hospital, clinic, diagnostic lab, or pharmacy, plus a patient app that keeps your records from every place you visit in one spot. It's working now, and I'd love feedback before I take it to clinics. The problem I kept seeing: * Small clinics and hospitals run on paper registers, Excel, or 4–5 separate tools that don't talk to each other (billing in one, lab in another, pharmacy on paper). * Most existing software is built for big hospitals: expensive, slow to learn, English-only. * Patients carry files from clinic to clinic, and every new doctor starts from zero. * Doctors in busy OPDs don't have time to type long notes. * Fee settlements with visiting doctors and partner labs happen through handwritten notes and WhatsApp messages, and sometimes informal "cuts" that put the clinic at legal risk. What OneAid does today: * OPD in under a minute: quick prescriptions, voice dictation (including Hindi), and printing or WhatsApping the prescription as a PDF. * Full hospital workflow: appointments, OPD/IPD records, nursing charts, billing with GST, insurance claims, and multiple branches. * Lab and pharmacy: analyser connections, barcodes, thermal-printer bills, stock and expiry tracking, and drug-interaction alerts at the time of prescribing. * Partnerships: written agreements with visiting doctors, partner labs, diagnostic centres and vendors, recording who gets paid what and for which actual service. Payouts are calculated automatically, with TDS deducted and tracked per PAN. Paying anyone for sending patients is blocked by design, because Indian medical rules prohibit it. * Back office: equipment and asset maintenance, and cash and bank reconciliation. * Video consultations that follow India's Telemedicine Practice Guidelines (consent and identity checks before the call). * Patient portal: sign in with your mobile number and an OTP, and see visits, prescriptions, reports, and bills from every linked clinic in one place. No more lost paper files or digging through old WhatsApp chats for a report. Your records stay safe in your account for as long as medical-record laws require, and you control who sees them. * 12 Indian languages and WhatsApp-first communication, because that's how patients actually stay in touch. * Privacy built in, designed around the DPDP Act: a clinic can't share your records or create an app account for you. You link each clinic yourself, after verifying your phone. How records follow the patient (without anyone grabbing data): The clinic registers you and, with your OK, sends a WhatsApp invite. You sign in to the OneAid app with your phone number and an OTP. You tap "link my records", and your visits from that clinic appear. Visit another clinic on OneAid, and you link that one too. Each clinic only sees its own data unless you choose to share. Why partnerships matter: Most clinics work with visiting consultants, outside labs, and imaging centres. Settling fees usually means month-end arguments over messy records. OneAid turns this into proper agreements: fixed fees or rates for services actually performed, maker-checker approval, automatic payout statements, and TDS records. Clinics get clean accounts, and nobody has to worry about an illegal referral arrangement. Current stage: * The core product is built and running in testing. Looking for 2–3 pilot clinics, labs, or small hospitals* (anywhere in India). Pilot partners pay only a small monthly fee to cover server and storage costs, with no profit margin, and get direct access to me for feedback and fixes. Lab analyser, DICOM/imaging, and printer integrations require on-site setup, so we quote those separately at cost. * I'm working on ABDM/ABHA integration to share records between providers with your consent. * OneAid has been self-funded for two years. The core product is built (hospital, clinic, lab and pharmacy software plus the patient app), and I'm now raising a small angel round to: * run paid pilots and get the first clinics live, * set up on-site integrations (lab analysers, DICOM imaging), * complete ABDM certification and production hosting, * bring on one more person for sales and onboarding. India has lakhs of small clinics, labs, and pharmacies still on paper or patchy software, and the DPDP Act and ABDM are pushing them to go digital properly. OneAid is built for that market from day one: affordable, WhatsApp-first, 12 Indian languages, and compliant by design. If you invest in or advise early-stage healthtech, I'd love to show you a demo and talk about it. Please DM me. I'd love to hear from: * Doctors and clinic owners: what slows down your OPD the most? * Hospital and lab admins: what does your current software get wrong? * Developers and healthcare folks interested in building this together. * Anyone who has sold software to Indian clinics: what actually makes them switch? My questions: * Would you, or a clinic you know, try something like this? * What would stop you from switching from your current setup? * How do you currently handle fee settlements with visiting doctors or partner labs? Would a proper agreement-and-payout system help? * Is "one platform for everything" a strength, or would you rather have one tool that does one job well? I'm open to honest criticism. I'd rather hear it now than build features nobody uses. Thanks!   submitted by   /u/VirtualGuidance5053 [link]   [comments]
