A 10-day journey building a multilingual health-access voice assistant with Murf Falcon, LiveKit, and a lot of trial and error.
The Problem and the Users
Most voice AI is built for people who already have smartphones, fast data plans, and comfort with English. That leaves out a huge number of people in India - someone in a small town with a mild fever who does not know if it is serious, a family member trying to find the nearest government hospital, or a caller who just needs to know whether to rest at home or see a doctor today.
That is the gap Sehat Sathi ("Health Companion") tries to fill. It is a voice-first health access assistant for the Health Access track of the 10 Days of Voice Agents - VoiceForBharat Edition challenge, run by Murf AI. The idea is simple: you should be able to just talk to it, in Hindi, English, or a natural mix of both, and get safe, honest guidance - not a diagnosis, but a clear next step.
