Our verdict
Kolia suits families who want to follow a parent's blood pressure and medication routine remotely, with large text and voice input. The trade-offs: it only launched in 2026, has no independent reviews or clinical validation, and does not publish package prices.
Best for: Older adults with hypertension who need medication and follow-up reminders
Skip it if: Anyone who needs a clinically validated tool for diagnosis
Pros
- Log readings and prescriptions by photographing the monitor or prescription, or by voice
- Relatives can monitor remotely with permission; an SOS button sends location to family
- Free to download, large text for older users, step sync with Apple Health
Cons
- Package prices are not published, so long-term cost is hard to judge
- Very new: no clinical validation or independent reviews, and only 31 App Store ratings

Experience & key features
Kolia is an AI health assistant from OSP AI Technology Joint Stock Company, part of Hanoi-based OSP Group. The first version reached the Vietnam App Store on 18 March 2026, and the official launch event took place in Hanoi on 15 May 2026. It runs on iOS and Android.
Per the App Store listing, users photograph a monitor or type in blood pressure readings, scan prescriptions or pill bottles to set medication reminders, get follow-up reminders and meal suggestions, estimate calories and salt from meal photos, log exercise and view daily, weekly and monthly reports. Version 1.2.0 added step sync with Apple Health and PDF reports. A virtual-plant game rewards daily tasks with coins that can be exchanged for small gifts. Press coverage describes several cooperating AI agents (voice recognition, image analysis, data logging). An An ninh Thủ đô article says the platform was trained on more than 150,000 clinical scenarios, without naming a source; the figure has not been independently verified.
The distinguishing part is family connection: with permission, relatives can monitor remotely and get alerts about missed medication or emergencies. The SOS button alerts family with the user's location and shows nearby medical facilities on a map. The App Store listing states that Kolia is not a medical device and does not diagnose, and OSP Group chairman Lê Quang Dũng told CafeBiz the company did not build Kolia to replace doctors.
On price, the app is free to download and the App Store lists no in-app purchases. kolia.vn has a free-trial button and a "Gói Dịch Vụ" section with no prices or limits, so it is unclear which features will be charged. On privacy, the website policy covers encryption and retention but skips in-app health data, and still allows ad tools to collect data on the site.
Medisafe and other international reminder apps serve a general audience, while local platforms such as Hello Bacsi and iSofHcare focus on health information and booking. Kolia aims narrower: older adults with hypertension and their families. Because it is so new, treat its AI claims as the developer's own until independent evaluations appear.

Cancellation & refunds
The refund policy on kolia.vn is written for physical orders (out of stock, returns, cancellation before delivery, charged but failed orders); it has no separate terms for in-app subscriptions.
Privacy
The policy on kolia.vn says customer data sits on Kolia's servers behind firewalls, access control and encryption, and card data is handled by payment gateways under PCI DSS. Data from closed accounts is kept for up to 12 months, then permanently deleted. The same policy lets advertising and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and DoubleClick collect age, gender and interest data, and allows data transfers in a merger. It is written for the website and orders and does not mention in-app health data (blood pressure, prescription photos, location). Separately, the App Store description says data is encrypted, not sold and not used for advertising.

Why this score
The App Store listing stresses large text, simple actions, voice input and photo capture. Interface in Vietnamese and English only. No independent reviews yet confirm real-world usability.
Why this score
Broad scope: blood pressure, medication, follow-ups, nutrition (calorie and salt estimates from meal photos), exercise, PDF reports, family connection, SOS and Apple Health sync. Mostly the developer's own description, with no independent check of the AI's accuracy.
Why this score
Free to download with no in-app purchases listed on the App Store, but the website's "Gói Dịch Vụ" section carries no prices, so cost cannot yet be compared with similar medication-reminder apps.
Why this score
4.87/5 from 31 Vietnam App Store ratings, a small sample. Version 1.3.0 shipped on 28 September 2026, the fifth release in about six months. No data on photo-reading accuracy.
Why this score
kolia.vn lists a hotline and an email address. No dedicated help centre or documentation was found.
Why this score
The policy mentions encryption, firewalls and 12-month retention after account closure, but covers only the website and orders, says nothing about sensitive in-app health data, and permits ad tools such as DoubleClick to collect data. The App Store description says data is not sold or used for ads. The homepage promises "absolute data protection" without citing any independent audit.
