Dehradun: Amidst various researches, many technological developments are also emerging in the field of Ayurveda. One such innovation is a comprehensive clinical Ayurveda app, “Bhishak,” developed by a group of young doctors from Kerala.
This app has captivated visitors at the Arogya Expo during the 10th edition of the World Ayurveda Congress (WAC 2024) at Parade Ground in Dehradun on Friday. The “Bhishak” app serves as a valuable reference for both practitioners and students, featuring detailed descriptions of diseases, medicines, lab investigations, procedures, prescriptions, and patents.
Authentic reference platform for Ayurveda practitioners, teachers and students
Developed by Dr. Sandeep, Dr. Rakesh, and Dr. Utham Shah from Shoranur in Kerala’s Palakkad district, the “Bhishak” app is a reliable reference platform for Ayurveda practitioners, teachers, and students. Dr. Shah mentioned that the app explains over 300 diseases, including their causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and Ayurvedic treatments across 10 departments. It includes information on more than 550 Ayurvedic medicines, detailing their ingredients, uses, dosage, and expert opinions on their clinical utility.

The app also has the largest database on all Panchakarma and Kerala-specific treatments, listing medicines based on conditions. Users can create their own prescriptions with the app, which was launched during the COVID-19 pandemic. The app also features a variety of proprietary Ayurvedic formulations targeting specific health issues. It provides extensive information on treating complications and includes over 60 Sweda yogas, Netra Kriyakramas, Snehana, Swedana, Vamana, and Virechana, enhancing both online and offline consultations.
