Founded in 2017, Zini provides genuine expert medical advice and directs patients to seek timely medical help. Accessible through an app, Zini allows users to ‘Talk to Zini’ about any medical symptom or health information. With an Alexa-like experience, the app can evaluate 950+ health symptoms, 300+ diseases,  provide a detailed report,  recommend the best course of action and share details of nearby medical facilities that a patient can reach out to. Zini has been trained on medical data specific to the Indian population. Over the last few years, Zini’s medical team of 15 doctors has curated a database of symptoms, the reasons behind them, and the possible course of action for the symptoms.
