Eight differences, in plain words

Every system of medicine, first

The first choice on Vaidhya is the system of medicine. Doctors, hospitals, clinics and businesses all sit under a category such as Allopathy or Ayurveda, so people find the kind of care they mean.

Both sides of healthcare in one app

Patients, doctors, hospitals and clinics, plus the suppliers, manufacturers and distributors that serve them, plus the people they hire. Most platforms cover only one of these.

Hospital pricing that makes sense

Hospitals pay per branch and per department. Never per doctor, so adding a doctor to a department you already run costs nothing extra.

Real OPD operations

Booked OPD tokens, a live queue (check in, call in, no-show, done), a doctors roster by department, and multiple branches under one account.

Home care built in

Nurses, physiotherapists and attendants from verified providers, with a price range per service, online payment, a start-of-visit OTP and ratings.

Verified before they go live

Providers upload their registration or licence documents and our team checks them. A verified badge appears only after approval.

Prices you can read

Annual subscription prices for every kind of provider are public. Patients use the app free of charge.

Refer and earn, for everyone

Every member gets a personal code and link, and earns a commission when someone they refer joins and subscribes.

Frequently asked questions

What is Vaidhya?
Vaidhya is a healthcare platform and mobile app for India. Patients find doctors, hospitals and clinics and book OPD tokens, lab tests, medicines and home care. Doctors, hospitals, clinics, suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and job seekers list themselves and get discovered. Everything is organised by system of medicine.
Which systems of medicine are on Vaidhya?
Allopathy, Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Yoga, Nutrition and Wellness, and Veterinary. Each is a category, so doctors, hospitals and businesses are found by the people who need exactly that kind of care.
Is Vaidhya free for patients?
Yes. Patients can download the app, search and browse without a subscription. You pay only for the services you book, such as a consultation fee or a lab test.
How do doctors, hospitals and businesses pay?
Providers join with a simple annual subscription, shown publicly for each type of member. Hospitals pay per branch and per department, never per doctor. Your account is verified before it goes live.
How does verification work?
After you register, you upload your registration or licence documents in the app. Our team reviews them and a verified badge appears on your profile once they are approved.
How is Vaidhya different from Practo or other doctor-booking apps?
Vaidhya organises everything by system of medicine, and covers more than booking: hospital OPD tokens and queues, home care, a supplier, manufacturer and distributor marketplace, and a job portal. See the detailed comparisons for Practo, Lybrate, Tata 1mg, Apollo 24|7, IndiaMART and Naukri.
How does Refer & Earn work?
Every member gets a personal referral code and link. When someone joins with it and subscribes, you earn a commission. Share the link from the app and it opens the app store with your code already attached.
Is there an iPhone app?
The Android app is live on Google Play. The iPhone app is coming soon. You can also use Vaidhya in your phone browser today.
Can I book home care through Vaidhya?
Yes. You can book nurses, physiotherapists and attendants from verified providers. Each service has a price range, you pay online, and the visit starts with a one-time code you share with the provider.
How do I get support?
Write to [email protected] and our team will help you.
