A HealthPlix alternative for doctors who want the follow-up to run on WhatsApp.
HealthPlix is a widely adopted EMR for solo doctors, priced low and strong on ABDM. Saaro Health covers the same consultation and adds owned WhatsApp infrastructure, voice prescriptions and a record that spans locations. Here is how they differ.
| Capability | HealthPlix | Saaro Health |
|---|---|---|
| Large installed base of solo doctors | Yes | Partial |
| Longer market tenure | Yes | No |
| Prescription printing in regional languages | Yes | Partial |
| ABDM / ABHA support | Yes | Yes |
| Owned WhatsApp Business infrastructure | Verify | Yes |
| Patient messaging bundled, not metered | Verify | Yes |
Choose HealthPlix if
- You are a single doctor who wants a low-priced, proven EMR with a large installed base and ABDM support that has been in the field for years.
- You print prescriptions in a regional language other than Hindi or English and want that built in.
- You prefer a vendor with a long track record over a newer product, even if the newer one covers more of the follow-up.
- Your practice does not send many WhatsApp messages and bundled messaging would not change your monthly cost.
Choose Saaro Health if
- You want reminders, reports, refills and reviews sent from your own WhatsApp Business number on infrastructure the vendor owns, with messaging included in the plan.
- You dictate prescriptions in a Hindi and English mix and want them structured with interaction checks, not typed.
- You are growing from one doctor to several, or one location to two, and want one patient record across all of them.
- You want AI flows for no-show recovery, chronic care and reactivation running without staff effort.
- You want ABDM consent artefacts, FHIR record push and DPDP readiness inside the same product.

Where HealthPlix is the better choice.
HealthPlix has earned its place in a great many single-doctor clinics by doing one thing well: getting a doctor from paper to a printed, digital prescription with very little fuss and at a low price. If your practice is one doctor, one room, and the prescription is the whole of what you need digitised, HealthPlix is a sound choice and has been for years.
Its regional-language prescription printing is a genuine advantage in parts of the country where patients read neither Hindi nor English comfortably. Saaro handles Hindi and English; if your patients need Tamil, Telugu, Kannada or Bengali on the printed slip, ask us before you switch, because HealthPlix has that today.
HealthPlix also has tenure. Locums and new front-desk staff are more likely to have seen it before, and that familiarity has a cost when it is missing. Saaro's setup is typically within a day, but a product people already know needs no setup at all.
Pricing side by side.

What switching from HealthPlix involves.
Most HealthPlix clinics are single-doctor, which makes the move short. You export patients and prescriptions, we map them to Saaro's fields and import them, and you verify a sample. Setup is typically within a day; migration from another EMR is typically about two days. Your printed prescription format is recreated on your letterhead before go-live.
The part that changes your day is the follow-up. On Saaro, the prescription, the follow-up date, the refill nudge and the report all go out from your clinic's WhatsApp Business number on SaroConnect, Lumotis's own WhatsApp Business Solution Provider infrastructure. No third-party BSP sits in between, messaging is bundled into the plan rather than metered, and there is no external template-approval queue when you want to change a reminder's wording.
ABHA IDs you have already created carry across. Saaro stores ABDM consent artefacts in the record and pushes FHIR records where the patient has consented, so the compliance work you did in HealthPlix keeps its value. Data is hosted in India, in the Mumbai region, with role-based access and an audit trail for DPDP Act 2023 readiness.
If you dictate rather than type, expect the consultation to feel different from the first week. Voice prescriptions in a Hindi and English mix come out as structured drug, dose and duration rows with interaction flags, and those rows are what the refill reminder reads later.
- Patients, visits, prescriptions, reports, billing and future appointments are the data types we move.
- Your existing WhatsApp Business number is verified on SaroConnect during setup.
- Specialty templates for your practice are loaded on the demo call.

Your questions answered.
The things clinics ask first.
What HealthPlix exports — patients, prescriptions, visits and appointments — is imported into Saaro and verified against a sample before you sign off. If a field has no equivalent, we tell you before import rather than after, and the old system stays read-only during the parallel week.
Setup is typically within a day and migration typically about two days: export and mapping on day 1, import and verification on day 2. A single-doctor clinic with a few years of records usually fits comfortably inside that.
Yes. Your clinic's WhatsApp Business number is verified on SaroConnect, our own WhatsApp infrastructure, so the thread and the clinic name patients see do not change. If you have been messaging from a personal number, we help you move to a Business number.
Saaro's Solo plan is ₹1,499 per clinic per month and the Clinic plan for 2–5 doctors is ₹3,999, billed annually and excluding GST. Setup, migration and patient messaging are included. HealthPlix's own terms and notice period are between you and HealthPlix.
Yes. We recommend about a week with Saaro as the working system and HealthPlix open read-only. Compare a few patients each day, and cut over once the front desk and the doctor are both comfortable.
