About AYUSHA AI
Q: What is AYUSHA AI? A: AYUSHA AI is an AI-powered digital health platform that integrates Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa, and Homeopathy with modern technology. It offers an AI health assistant, Prakriti analysis, personalized diet plans, telemedicine, interoperable health records, and drug–herb safety checks in one app.
Q: What does AYUSH stand for? A: AYUSH stands for Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy — with Sowa-Rigpa also recognized. These are the traditional medicine systems administered by India's Ministry of AYUSH. [1]
Q: Who created AYUSHA AI? A: AYUSHA AI was founded by Dr. Chandra Sekhar Bondugula. The platform is built and maintained by the AYUSHA AI Team.
Q: Is AYUSHA AI aligned with global health standards? A: Yes. It is designed to align with the WHO Global Traditional Medicine Strategy 2025–2034 and the WHO–ITU–WIPO guidance on AI for traditional medicine. [2]
Features and how it works
Q: What can I do with AYUSHA AI? A: You can chat with an AI AYUSH health assistant, get an AI Prakriti (constitution) analysis, build personalized AYUSH diet plans, scan a meal photo for analysis, book telemedicine consultations, check drug–herb interactions, browse ICD-11 TM-2 codes, and keep interoperable health records.
Q: How does AYUSHA AI keep its answers reliable? A: It grounds AI responses in a curated AYUSH knowledge base, so answers are based on verified source material rather than generated from memory alone. It also follows a strict data-integrity commitment — when data is missing, it shows an honest empty state instead of a placeholder.
Q: What is Prakriti analysis? A: Prakriti is your Ayurvedic mind-body constitution — your balance of the Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas. AYUSHA AI estimates your Prakriti through a guided assessment and optional wearable data, then personalizes recommendations to it.
Q: Can AYUSHA AI analyze a photo of my food? A: Yes. The AI Meal Plate Scanner analyzes a meal photo for calories, macros, detected spices, an Ayurvedic dosha reading, and a comparison against your ideal plate proportions.
Safety, data, and access
Q: Is AYUSHA AI a replacement for seeing a doctor? A: No. It is a guidance and access tool. For diagnosis and treatment, it connects you with verified AYUSH practitioners via telemedicine and recommends professional consultation.
Q: Is my health data secure? A: AYUSHA AI enforces strict per-user access controls, so each user can only access their own records.
Q: Does AYUSHA AI support India's digital health systems? A: Yes. It is built for compatibility with the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) and exports records in the FHIR R4 standard. [3][4]
Q: Can it check whether my herbs are safe with my medicines? A: Yes. The Drug–Herb Interaction Checker screens your herbal remedies against your modern medications and flags potential risks for you to discuss with a practitioner.
Q: What languages does AYUSHA AI support? A: AYUSHA AI offers multilingual support across major Indian languages.
Q: Is AYUSHA AI free to use? A: Availability and plans are listed on the official website, https://ayusha.ai/. Check there for the current access and pricing details.
