Med Maps points you to the nearest Jan Aushadhi store or Generic Aadhar Kendra before you buy your next strip of tablets. AppCrew built it for people across India who want the generic version of a prescription and have no idea where to find one. It runs on Android, iPhone and iPad, in Hindi and English.
The problem
Generic medicines carry the same composition as branded ones at a fraction of the price. The Government of India stocks them through Jan Aushadhi Kendras, and Generic Aadhar runs a private network doing the same thing. Locating your closest one is where it falls apart. The chemist on your street has no reason to send you elsewhere, and the official directories assume you read English and can work your way through a government portal.
So you walk into the shop you already know and pay the branded price.
Open Med Maps and you get one answer: the closest store selling generics. You see them on a map, you tap, you go.
What we built
- Store locator on Google Maps. The map plots Jan Aushadhi stores and Generic Aadhar Kendras around your current location and hands off to directions.
- Hindi and English, switchable inside the app. You change language in Med Maps rather than digging through your phone settings. That matters when the person who needs cheaper medicine is a parent or grandparent who does not read English.
- Awareness content on generic medicines. You learn what a generic is and what to ask for at the counter, so the trip to the store is not wasted.
- One app, both stores. Android and iPhone carry the same feature set. The iOS build also runs on iPad.
- No data collection. Google Play and the App Store both show the same declaration for Med Maps: no data collected, nothing shared with third parties. A health app that harvests your location in the background would defeat the point.
How we worked
You get a build every week. Not a status deck, not a burndown chart, an app you install on your phone and use. When something feels wrong, you say so, and your feedback lands with the engineer who wrote that screen. Nobody sits in the middle translating what you meant into a ticket.
The team that builds the app maintains it. Med Maps shipped its first version in November 2023, picked up an update in October 2024, and reached 1.0 in July 2025. Same team on all three.
Sukhmeet Kaur and Syna Gupta co-developed the app with us and hold a credit on both store listings.
The outcome
Med Maps is live on Google Play and the App Store under the Medical category. It runs on Android, iPhone and iPad, in Hindi and English, and both stores rate it suitable for all ages. Version 1.0.0 shipped in July 2025. AppCrew maintains it.
