We're a small team in Dhaka building the calmest, most honest health app we can — one that helps you screen yourself, find a real doctor, and stay safe in an emergency.
“Most of what reaches the clinic late is something a quiet check, a phone call, and a kind doctor could have caught months earlier. Lifeline is that quiet check.”
Dr. Mafia Khanom Mohona
MBBS · Founder, Lifeline
Dr. Mafia Khanom Mohona is a physician trained in Bangladesh. She started Lifeline after years of watching preventable diseases — high blood pressure, diabetes, untreated kidney disease — arrive in clinic at the wrong stage. Late diagnoses are heartbreaking. They are also, very often, the result of a country where the next doctor visit feels far away.
Lifeline began with one question — what if a person at home had a quiet, trustworthy way to ask, “do I need to see someone?” The answer became a screener, a doctor directory, and an emergency guide. The rule, from the start, was that the app would never pretend to be a physician.
Today the team is small — physicians, designers, and engineers — building carefully, in Dhaka, for everyone who lives here.
Three commitments shape every screen, every reminder, every doctor we list. They are not slogans. They are limits we keep.
Lifeline never names your condition or recommends medicine. It tells you whether something deserves a doctor's eye, and how soon. The doctor decides.
Heart, blood pressure, sugar, kidneys, mental health — the conditions that quietly carry the highest burden in Bangladesh. We start where prevention matters most.
Every physician on Lifeline is checked against the BMDC registry. No paid promotion, no commission, no marketplace games.
By default, everything stays on your phone. We never sell data. We never share it with advertisers. We never read your records to make recommendations. And you can delete everything in one tap — including your account — and we mean it.
We launch in Dhaka first, then expand to Chittagong, Sylhet, and Rajshahi. A Bangla translation is in active design — every word in the screener is being rewritten with physicians who speak it daily, not auto-translated.
Over time, we'll add support for maternal health, common childhood concerns, and offline content for low-bandwidth areas. We won't add a chatbot that pretends to diagnose. We won't add an AI symptom checker that gives you a confident wrong answer. The shape of Lifeline is decided.
If that sounds like the kind of health app you'd like to use — or build — we'd love to hear from you.
