Our Initiative
Welcome to RUOK, a wellness WhatsApp chatbot that cares about you and your loved ones. RUOK is an initiative to improve the health and well-being of South Africa’s senior citizens. RUOK sends you daily check-in messages and medication reminders on WhatsApp and notifies your emergency contacts in case of no response. RUOK also connects you to relevant resources or services for your well-being and helps you in case of an emergency.
RUOK offers three membership options to suit your needs and preferences. You can choose from:
- RUOK Individual Membership: For personal use, if you live alone or have loved ones who do.
- RUOK Group Membership: For organizations, such as old age homes, religious groups, or social groups, that want to stay connected and safe with their community.
- RUOK Remote Membership: For long distance, if you have loved ones who live far away from you and you want to look out for them.
RUOK is easy to use, affordable, and gives you peace of mind. We have made the registration form simple and convenient. You can save update your personal information at any time you wish and if for whatever reason you are not able to complete the form in one sitting, you can save your progress and continue later. RUOK operates on WhatsApp, which is one of the most popular and widely used messaging platforms in the world.
