# Nirvaan

> Nirvaan is an Indian online sexual health platform. Users consult
> verified doctors and counsellors anonymously by chat, call or video,
> paying per minute after a short free window.

## What it is
- Marketplace connecting patients in India with verified sexologists,
  psychiatrists, dermatologists-venereologists, urologists and certified
  counsellors.
- Both male and female practitioners; users may filter by doctor gender,
  language, speciality and per-minute rate.

## How privacy works
- The patient's real name and mobile number are masked from the doctor
  by default. The doctor sees a self-chosen handle and a reference code.
- Voice calls are bridged through a platform number, so neither party
  receives the other's phone number.
- Every attempt to view unmasked details is logged and requires a reason.

## Pricing
- Self-assessments, doctor-reviewed articles and doctor profiles are free.
- The first few minutes of a user's first consultation are free.
- After that, consultations are billed per minute from wallet balance.

## Medical governance
- Practitioners are verified against their state medical council
  registration before they can take consultations.
- Prescriptions are issued only by Registered Medical Practitioners and
  follow India's Telemedicine Practice Guidelines, 2020.
- Nirvaan is a technology platform. It does not practise medicine and
  does not promise any treatment outcome.
