AKESTIATell AKESTIA what’s wrong. It will tell you how urgent it is
Type or say your symptoms in your own words. The app asks a few follow-up questions and explains what it might be, what to do at home and when to see a doctor.
AKESTIA is a reference service. It does not diagnose or prescribe; it helps you understand who to see and how soon.
From “something’s wrong” to a clear plan in a couple of minutes
Describe your symptoms
Type or speak as you would to a friend: “sore throat, 37.8 °C for two days”. You can add a photo and mark the spot on a body map.
Answer a few questions
AKESTIA checks what matters: shortness of breath, how long it has lasted, what you have already taken. You can skip questions.
Get a plan
Possible causes, what to do now and which doctor to see, and with warning signs — call 103 or 112 right away. Save the result as a PDF to show your doctor.
More than a symptom checker
A clear answer instead of forum searching
What it might be: for each cause, what matches your description, what doesn’t and what a doctor usually checks. Then what to do right now.
- When not to put off seeing a doctor
- Warning signs that mean calling 103 or 112 right away
- A PDF with the result and your answers to show your doctor
Health notes for you and the people you care for
AKESTIA turns your records into plain-language notes on each condition: self-care, the medicines usually prescribed, when to see a doctor. Each card says who it is for — you or your mother.
- Ask questions about an illness or treatment
- No doses: only a doctor prescribes medicines
- Different people’s data never mix
Plan a visit — AKESTIA reminds you and asks how it went
Mark where and why you are going. You get a reminder on the day, and at 10:00 the next day AKESTIA asks how the visit went, so you can note the results, the doctor’s opinion and how you feel.
- Compared with past visits: improving or worse
- A wellbeing chart
- Tips on what to do next

Does AKESTIA diagnose?
No. It is a reference service: it rates urgency and explains possible causes, but only a doctor can make a diagnosis after an examination.
How much does it cost?
The app is free and has no in-app purchases.
Which phones are supported?
Android 8.0 or newer. The app is distributed through RuStore.
Who writes the answers?
YandexGPT, under strict safety rules: with warning signs the app tells you to call 103 or 112 right away, and it never gives medicine doses.
Can I keep records for my child or parents?
Yes. For each record choose “Me” or “Someone else” and add who it is, their age and sex. Tips for different people never mix.
What if an answer looks wrong?
Under the result there is “Report a problem with this answer”. Pick a reason and add a comment — the developer gets it straight away.
