Athnova CareAbout Athnova Care
Athnova Care is a WhatsApp-first daily check-in and care-coordination service for elderly parents in India or anywhere else, run for their children who live far away.
What we do
Athnova Care checks on your parent every day on WhatsApp, in their own language, and tells you how they are. If they do not reply, we remind them, then call them, then alert you and the local contacts you chose. Around that daily signal we keep medicines, refills, reports and readings in one place, and prepare a doctor-ready summary each month.
Who it is for
- Adult children living in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, the UAE and the wider Gulf, Singapore, Germany and the rest of Europe, New Zealand and elsewhere, whose parents live in India.
- Children who work in another Indian city from their parents.
- Families whose parents live outside India — in the UK, the US, Canada, the Gulf or elsewhere — and use WhatsApp.
- Parents who already use WhatsApp. When a message is missed, the follow-up is an ordinary phone call. They install nothing and create no account.
- Siblings who want to share the load: up to 4 family members on one plan.
How it works
- You add your parent: WhatsApp number, language, medicines, two local contacts. About 3 minutes.
- Your parent receives an invitation on WhatsApp and taps "Yes, I agree". Nothing starts without that.
- Every day at the time you pick, one message with buttons: taken, not yet, please call me.
- No reply: a reminder, then an automated call in their language, then an alert to you and your local contacts.
What we do not do
- We are not doctors and do not diagnose, prescribe or change doses.
- We are not an emergency service. In an emergency in India call 112 (108 for an ambulance).
- We do not sell medicines. Refills go to your parent’s own local chemist, only after your parent agrees and you approve the price.
- We do not sell data or use health data for advertising.
Languages
21 languages for the parent’s message, buttons and phone call: Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, English, Urdu, Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese, French, Filipino, Indonesian, German, Italian, Turkish and Romanian. The family app is in English, Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Arabic and Indonesian.
Price
$12 a month or $99 a year for the whole family, with a 14-day free trial that needs no card. A free plan keeps the daily WhatsApp check-in going for one parent at no cost. Full details are on the pricing page.
How we write our guides
Our guides help families organise care. They are prepared from published guidance and from what families tell us, checked and published by the founder, and reviewed when rules or prices change. They never diagnose or suggest treatment, and anything clinical is left to your parent’s doctor. If you find a mistake, write to us and we will correct it.
Founder
Ravi Tiwari founded Athnova Care in 2026 and builds it from India. Ravi builds Athnova Care from India for families like his own: children working abroad, parents at home. He writes every post here himself. The reasoning behind each change is on the blog, dated.
He also built WhatsApp-based tools for small businesses before this; the daily check-in grew out of the same question every family abroad asks — would we know today if something happened?
