Available on Android, a user can download the app and start using Zini as their health guide. With ‘open conversational abilities’, Zini allows users to ‘talk to ZINI’ in natural language or as a free text-based chat. Each user gets a Unique Global Health ID where all the relevant information about the patient gets recorded.
In March 2021, the startup won a grant of 25 Lakhs under the Startup India – NGIS (Next Generation Incubation Scheme) started by the STPI( Software Technology Park of India).
