The short answer
Seht is a family health app that puts vitals, reminders, records, an AI chat and a doctor finder in one place. Ayu is a records app that reads every document you upload and turns it into a medical history you can search and question. Seht is the wider dashboard. Ayu is the deeper reader. If you track blood pressure and sugar every day and want steps synced from your phone, look at Seht. If your problem is a drawer of prescriptions and reports, look at Ayu.
Disclosure first: we make Ayu, so we are not neutral. Everything about Seht comes from its own website, its beta privacy policy and terms, and its Google Play and App Store listings, read on 7 October 2026, plus the screenshots it publishes in its store listing. We did not sign in to Seht, so we have not used it with records in it. Where its pages disagree with each other, or we could not confirm something, we say so.
- Pick Seht if you want vitals trends (blood pressure, heart rate, sugar, steps), medicine and appointment reminders, and view or edit sharing with family, all free.
- Pick Ayu if you want an app that reads prescriptions, lab reports, scans, discharge summaries and bills, lays them on a timeline, and answers questions from them.
Key takeaways
- Seht's site says "50K+ connected families". Its Google Play listing shows an install band of 10K+ downloads, updated 16 September 2026. They count different things, so we do not treat them as a contradiction, but we cannot reconcile them either.
- Its privacy policy says it applies "only to Seht's Beta Testing Phase", is "temporary" and "does not claim full legal compliance". It is dated November 2025. The app is on public stores.
- The same policy says uploaded data "may be used to improve AI performance", and that it uses Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising tools. It lists no grievance officer.
- Seht's Play listing says its Record Analyzer gives "no diagnosis, no medical interpretation". Its website says the AI "reads your labs and helps you understand what the numbers actually mean". The in-app screen it publishes labels a value "Very high".
- Neither Seht's site, listing nor policy mentions ABHA or ABDM. Ayu's ABHA creation and linking is planned for November 2026 and is not live.

Seht rows are its own claims from the pages in the references, read on 7 October 2026. "Not mentioned" means we did not find it on those pages, not that the feature is missing.
Screenshot of Seht's website · not an Ayu productWhat each app is built for
Seht is made by Seht Innovations Pvt Ltd. Its pitch is breadth: "everything you need, in one health app". Records, family health, appointments, find care, vitals tracking, AI chat and medicine reminders sit on one home screen, with a content section beside them ("Explore health": expert-vetted articles, stories, recipes and medical news). It reads as a wellness dashboard for a family, with records as one of its tabs.
It is free, with no in-app purchases flagged on Google Play. Its FAQ says advanced features may come as the platform evolves. Its privacy policy says it does not sell data. Nothing on its pages says how it earns.
Ayu is built around one idea: the paper you already have should become something you can read, search and ask about. It is free to use, has no ads and will not add them. It is a newer, smaller app, one person per account on the free plan, and not an ABDM-integrated record app today.
The difference in purpose explains most of what follows. Seht tracks your health now (vitals, doses, appointments). Ayu understands your health history (documents, medicines over time).
Feature by feature
Getting records in
Seht's home screen has a Records tab with a built-in scanner. You upload prescriptions, lab reports and health files, and they appear in a list with filter tabs (All, Lab Report, Prescription, Insurance). The screen it publishes shows a list with a thumbnail of each report, a type label and a date. Its FAQ says it takes PDFs, prescriptions, lab reports and images.
Ayu has you scan with the camera or upload photos and PDFs, and it takes prescriptions, lab reports, scans, discharge summaries and bills. The next step is what differs.
Where your records sit
Seht
Seht's Records tab: a search box, filter tabs by type, and each report as a thumbnail with its type and date. Sample data from its listing.
Ayu
Ayu adds a timeline grouped by month on top of the document list.
- 1 Documents tab
- 2 Month-by-month history
Reading what is inside
Seht's Record Analyzer is the feature its site leads with. The screen it publishes has four tabs (Summary, Risk flags, Measurements, Recommendations). The Risk flags tab shows each value against its normal range: HbA1c 10.0% marked "Very high", globulin "Elevated", albumin "Normal". Its home page says "Our proprietary AI reads your labs and helps you understand what the numbers actually mean for your body. No more Googling symptoms."
Its Google Play listing says something more careful: the Record Analyzer "highlights information already present in your reports... No diagnosis, no medical interpretation — just simplified viewing." The site's wording is stronger than the store's. We would trust the store's, and we would treat a flag as a prompt to ask your doctor, not as a result.
Ayu works on a wider range of documents. It reads each upload, pulls out the doctor, date, medicines and results, and writes a plain-language summary. Ayu's AI is built to read handwritten as well as printed prescriptions; it can still get a word or a dose wrong, so check the extracted details against the original, which stays in the app. Seht's visual range bars, which place each value against a normal range, are a clear strength. We do not make a claim about an equivalent in Ayu here.
On prescriptions, the gap is plain. Seht's pages describe analysing reports. They do not describe reading the medicines, doses and doctor out of a prescription. We did not test it, so "not mentioned" is the strongest thing we can say.
What the app does with a report
Seht
Seht's Record analysis, Risk flags tab: each value against a normal range, labelled Very high, Elevated or Normal. Sample data from its listing.
Ayu
Ayu pulls the medicines, doctor and date out of the document and summarises it in plain language.
- 1 Photograph it
- 2 Ayu reads it
Vitals
Seht is clearly stronger here. It tracks heart rate, blood pressure, sugar levels and BMI manually, and syncs steps, calories and activity from Google Fit and Apple HealthKit. Its published screen shows a daily ring (700 of 10,000 steps), a weekly selector and a banner reading "Your blood pressure went critical twice this week", with tracker tiles beneath. Its privacy policy also names Google Health Connect and says it does not sell or share that data.
Ayu logs blood sugar: say a reading in chat and Ayu offers a card to save it with the meal type, and you can ask it to chart blood sugar or HbA1c over time. It does not log blood pressure, weight or symptoms, and it does not sync steps from your phone.
Medicines and reminders
Seht has a Medications screen with today's progress (4 of 8 taken), counts for taken, missed and upcoming, and a Missed doses list with a Take button for each. It also sets doctor appointment and lab test reminders. Ayu sets medicine reminders from a prescription, and you can ask for them in chat. Ayu's booking works only with clinics that use Ayu, and it does not alert a relative.
Family
Seht lets you add family members and share access in View Mode or Edit Mode. That permission model is useful when a sibling should see a parent's records but not change them. Several of the testimonials on its own home page mention family sharing. We take them as the company's own selection.
Ayu is one person on the free app. Family profiles are the one paid plan, from ₹99 a month. For how to organise a parent's records by hand, see managing elderly parents' medical records in India.
AI chat
Seht's AI Chat Health Bot answers "general health and wellness questions". Its Play listing says "informational answers... not diagnosis or medical advice". The screen it publishes shows a user asking about fatigue and body ache, and the bot listing possible causes (lack of sleep, vitamin D or B12 deficiency, a viral illness, thyroid imbalance, dehydration) and then asking follow-up questions. We did not see anything that says it uses your uploaded records.
Ayu's chat answers from your own records and can show the sources, meaning which of your documents it used. You can attach up to three of your own records to a question. It is not medical advice, and it needs internet.
Asking the app a question
Seht
Seht's chat: a general question about fatigue, an answer listing common causes and follow-up questions. Sample data from its listing.
Ayu
Ayu answers from your own records and shows which documents it used.
- 1 Ask about your records
- 2 Open the documents it used
Finding a doctor and reading articles
Seht has a Find doctors screen: nearby clinics and hospitals from "publicly available sources", with a rating and a distance. It also has an Explore tab of articles, recipes and stories, and a blog on its site. The blog posts we saw are about vaccination, baby milestones and premature babies. Ayu has neither a doctor finder nor a content section.
ABHA and hospital counters
Neither the site, the listings nor the policy mention ABHA or ABDM. Ayu's ABHA creation and linking is planned for November 2026 and is not live today. For ABHA now, see our ABHA guide.

What Seht's own pages say about itself
| Topic | What its pages say |
|---|---|
| Scale | Site: "50K+ Connected families" and "Trusted by 50K+ families". Play: 10K+ downloads. Different measures; we cannot reconcile them |
| Launch status | Privacy policy (Nov 2025): "currently in Private Beta", a "temporary version", "does not claim full legal compliance". Terms: "Beta Terms and Conditions", last updated 3 March 2026. The app is on Google Play and the App Store |
| What the analyzer does | Site: "helps you understand what the numbers actually mean for your body". Play: "No diagnosis, no medical interpretation" |
| Content | Site: "expert-vetted articles". The article previews we read show no author or reviewer |
| Doctor data | Play: doctor details "come from publicly available sources". Site: "specialists... based on verified health needs" |
| Grievance contact | Policy: "we don't have a formal grievance officer yet", with an email for privacy concerns |
We do not think any of this means a bad product. It describes a young app whose pages were written at different stages. It matters if you are about to upload a family's reports.
Privacy and data
| Seht | Ayu | |
|---|---|---|
| Status of the policy | Beta policy, Nov 2025, to be replaced after legal review "before public launch" | Ayu's privacy policy |
| What it collects | Name, mobile or email, basic profile, health reports and prescriptions you upload, vitals, analysis output, device and usage data, crash reports | See Ayu's privacy policy |
| AI and your data | Uploaded data "may be used to improve AI performance"; it tries to remove identifiers "where possible" | AI features send document content to an AI provider, with your consent |
| Analytics and ads tools | Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising tools, for heatmaps and session interactions | Ayu has no ads and will not add them |
| Sharing | Not shared without your permission, except as law requires or for essential technical operations | You share a document yourself by link or QR for 30 minutes |
| Where data is stored | Not stated in the policy. "Encrypted storage, controlled access, secure servers" | Google Cloud servers in Mumbai, India |
| Retention | Kept "only for testing, performance optimization and product improvement"; deletion on request | You can delete your account from the app |
| Minors | Intended for users 18 and over, yet it advertises child profiles ("I created a profile for my child") | Per Ayu's policy |
Read the AI row and the analytics row twice. If you upload your parent's lab reports, the policy lets Seht use that data to train and improve its AI, and uses a heatmap tool on how you use the app. Neither is unusual for a young app. Both are the kind of thing you should choose, not discover. The policy also says the app is for users 18 and over, while the site shows reviews about adding a child's profile; the two do not line up.

Price and what is being sold to you
Seht: free, no in-app purchases flagged on Google Play, no price on its site. The FAQ says "potential advanced features available as the platform evolves". Its "Download App" and "Start managing your health today" buttons are free. Nothing on its pages names a revenue source.
Ayu: Ayu is free to use. The only thing Ayu charges for is the family plan, from ₹99 a month, which adds profiles for family members. Ayu has no ads and will not add them.
Real-life scenarios
A man with high blood pressure and diabetes who checks both daily. Seht. Vitals, trends, reminders and a Google Fit step sync are its strongest area.
A daughter with a mother's thyroid reports, an ultrasound and a discharge summary. Ayu. The value is in reading, ordering and answering from many kinds of document.
A family where a sibling abroad should see a parent's records but not edit them. Seht's View Mode and Edit Mode. Ayu has no such permission model.
A first visit to a new city. Seht's Find doctors screen helps you see clinics nearby. Ayu has no doctor finder; it helps you carry your history to whoever you see.
You want the app to explain a prescription. Ayu. Seht's pages do not describe reading prescriptions.
