The Spark Behind the Idea
Why?
The idea for Chhoti Sehat was born from a simple, yet frustrating, moment. my sister visited our village.
Her child needed a vaccine, but she had forgotten the paper vaccine card at home.
We didn’t know which ASHA worker to contact or where the vaccine would be given in the village.
That small moment made me think?
In a country like India, many families move from one place to another. And when they do, it becomes hard to manage their child’s health. They don’t know how the new health system works or where to go for help.
That’s how the idea of Chhoti Sehat started — an app to help parents carry their child’s health records and understand the local healthcare system when they relocate.
This is a common struggle for most parents.
How I Did the Research (Field Research)
I conducted face-to-face interviews with 20–30 Parents
15 migrant parents who had recently moved to a new city or village
Local families living in the village
I also went door-to-door in rural areas to understand their problems personally
Spoke with 4–5 ASHA workers, who are directly involved in vaccination and child care services
Project Objective
The goal of this project was to design a digital solution that helps parents—especially those who relocate—easily manage their child’s vaccinations and health needs.
Easy way to Connect Health System
Helping families find trusted local health services (like ASHA workers, hospitals, and health camps and campaing)
Digital Vaccine Card
Keeping track of vaccination schedules, and missed doses — even when they move between cities or villages.
The Solution
Navigating Child Health Challenges in a New City, Made Easy.
A Health-First App for Relocating Families – Fast, Familiar, and Helpful
The Chhoti Sehat app makes it easy for parents to access nearby health services after moving to a new place. The experience is simple, trustworthy, and built for real-life use.
The home screen automatically detects the user’s location and helps them search for local ASHA workers, nearby hospitals, and ongoing health campaigns or camps—all in one place.
A flexible design system was also created to keep everything consistent across the mobile app, web version, and social media posts. This helped the brand look and feel the same everywhere — and made it easier to update things quickly during campaigns or health drives.
Designed to create a warm and user-friendly experience, the app uses soft pastel colors that feel calm and caring. Each screen is built with clarity and simplicity in mind, helping parents take quick action without any confusion or stress.
The Solution
Worry-Free Vaccinations: Always on Track, Powered by Official Data, Wherever Life Takes You.
A Smarter Way to Manage Vaccines — Timely, Clear, and Stress-Free
The Chhoti Sehat app makes it easy for parents to track their child’s vaccines, even after moving to a new place. The Vaccination Feature shows if the child is up to date or has any upcoming vaccines, along with the next due date.
No need to worry about lost cards — the app has a clear vaccine calendar and recent updates in one place. Whether you're a new or experienced parent, it gives simple and keeps everything organized.
