Ask a Specialist
Not every concern needs a clinic visit — but every genuine question deserves to be heard. Share what's on your mind and a developmental paediatrician replies directly to you, privately.
How It Works
No forms to chase, no clinic to visit. Just tell us what's going on — we'll take it from there.
A few quick basics — name, age, nothing lengthy. Takes under a minute.
Pick what it's about — behaviour, speech, movement, sleep, and more — then describe it in your own words.
Optional, but often says more than words can. Fully encrypted — no one can download it, ever.
OptionalA developmental paediatrician responds on your private thread. No appointment, no waiting room.
See It In Action
This is what asking ParentQ actually looks like — your words, a specialist's attention, and an answer you can act on.
What To Expect
Enough room for a real back-and-forth, not a single exchange.
If your clinician asks for more detail, replying never uses up a credit.
No pressure to resolve everything in one sitting — your thread stays open.
Satisfied sooner? Close the thread anytime. Otherwise it wraps up on its own at 14 days.
What Can You Ask
Every domain of early development, covered — not just the ones with obvious red flags.
Not sure which one fits? Pick the closest — your paediatrician will take it from there.
Wherever It Leads
Most of the time, the answer is simply reassurance. When it isn't, your clinician points you exactly where to go next.
End-to-end encryptedEvery message, photo and video is encrypted — no one can download what you share.
Explicit consent, every timeNothing is processed without your clear, informed consent, in line with the DPDP Act.
Seen only by your specialistYour query is visible only to the clinician assigned to answer it. No one else.
Guidance, not diagnosisParentQ is pre-consultation guidance on growth & development — not a medical diagnosis or emergency service.
FAQs
No. ParentQ is pre-consultation guidance focused only on your child's growth and development. It's not a medical consultation, diagnosis, or prescription, and it isn't meant for medical emergencies.
Your developmental paediatrician replies directly on the thread, and you'll get a WhatsApp notification the moment they do — no need to keep checking back.
Each query comes with 5 reply-credits for your side of the conversation. If your clinician asks a clarifying question, replying to that never uses up a credit — only your own follow-up messages do.
14 days — so there's no pressure to resolve everything in one sitting. You can close it yourself once you're satisfied, and it auto-closes at the end of 14 days either way.
Only your assigned specialist. Everything you share — including any photo or video — is end-to-end encrypted, cannot be downloaded by anyone, and is used only with your explicit consent, in line with the DPDP Act.
Sometimes the answer is simply reassurance. Other times your clinician may suggest a next step — like starting a Hidden Hum baseline or booking a FAIRY assessment — so you always know where you stand.
