Role of a health assistant
What your health assistant does for you
From routine screening to medicines on time and recovery after illness — here is how a Nirogi health assistant supports your family every month.
Key responsibilities
Routine physical screening
Regular BP, sugar, weight and vital checks under the guidance of our general physicians.
Health check-ups & monitoring
Schedules lab tests with NABL-accredited partners as prescribed, and tracks the results over time.
Digital health locker upkeep
Uploads prescriptions and reports so your complete history is ready for every doctor visit.
Medication management
Makes sure doctor-prescribed medicines are taken on time and refills never run out.
Doctor & hospital coordination
Books appointments, prepares your records and follows up on what the doctor advised.
After care
Recovery support, motivation and guidance on diet, lifestyle and hygiene after illness.
Reducing stress
Encourages self-care — mindfulness, exercise and healthy sleep routines.
Connecting extra care
Arranges nurses, physiotherapists, health coaches or attendants at home when needed.
