Healthcare infrastructure
for the modern hospital

dokitab was built to solve a real problem: hospitals across Nigeria and West Africa struggling with paper records, WhatsApp-based coordination, and zero data accountability.

We built a complete hospital management platform — mobile app for doctors, web console for administrators, and secure cloud APIs — all designed from day one with patient data protection, HIPAA guidelines, and regional regulations (such as NDPA, POPIA) at the core.

Our infrastructure runs in the cloud and connects to hospitals via secure tunnels, meaning clinics don't need static IPs, expensive servers, or dedicated IT staff to go digital.

Electronic Medical Records

Complete patient histories, prescriptions, and lab results — securely stored, always accessible to authorised staff.

Staff & Schedule Management

Real-time visibility into who is on duty, shift swaps, and department coverage — from any device.

GPS Geofencing Security

Medical records can only be accessed from within the hospital premises — enforced at the device level.

Analytics & Reports

Occupancy rates, patient throughput, and financial summaries — exportable and ready for board reporting.

Up and running
in under an hour

No servers to provision. No static IP required. We handle the infrastructure — you run the hospital.

1

Register Your Hospital

We onboard your facility, configure your geofence zone, and set up staff accounts.

2

Install the Mobile App

Doctors download the Android app and log in with their hospital credentials.

3

Access the Admin Console

Admin staff use the web portal on any browser to manage patients, staff, and reports.

4

Go Fully Digital

All records, schedules, and communications run through one secure, audited platform.

Built to the standard
patients deserve

We take data protection seriously — not as an afterthought, but as a design principle from day one.

HIPAA & Regional Compliance

Designed to satisfy HIPAA (US) security rules and local data protection regulations—including Nigeria's NDPA, South Africa's POPIA, Kenya's DPA, and Ghana's DPA—with secure audit logging.

End-to-End Encryption

All traffic is TLS 1.3 encrypted via Cloudflare. No plaintext data ever leaves the hospital network or our servers.

GPS Geofencing

The mobile app enforces location-based access control — patient records are automatically locked if a device leaves hospital grounds.

Biometric Session Lock

After 2 minutes of inactivity, the app locks and requires fingerprint or face ID to resume — protecting records if a device is left unattended.

Full Audit Trail

Every login, record view, camera capture, and data export is recorded in an immutable audit log stored server-side.

Zero Static IP Required

Our Cloudflare Tunnel system connects hospitals securely to the cloud without needing dedicated IPs, port forwarding, or enterprise networking.

Got questions? We've got answers.

Everything you need to know about the dokitab platform, security compliance, pricing, and deployment.

dokitab is a secure, mobile-first Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and hospital management platform. It is custom-built for clinics, diagnostic centers, and hospitals in Nigeria and West Africa who need robust clinical workflows without heavy capital expenditure.
Yes! The core patient registration, clinical encounter records (SOAP notes), mobile application, scheduling, and billing are completely free. We make money through optional premium enterprise extensions (such as dedicated Metabase analytics environments, custom white-labelling) and payment processing integrations for hospital groups.
Our React Native mobile app is designed bedside-first and is connectivity-resilient. When NEPA power outages or internet drops occur, all write actions—like recording vitals, fluid balance (Intake/Output), nurse MAR administrations, and clinical notes—are queued locally on the device using an offline-first architecture. The moment connectivity is restored, the queue synchronizes with the server automatically.
Yes, data security and patient privacy are built into dokitab's core. We implement strict Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), biometric session locks, GPS geofencing, secure PHI-safe camera capture (which bypasses the camera roll and uploads directly to secure object storage), and maintain immutable audit logs for all security-relevant actions to guarantee compliance with global and regional standards, including HIPAA (US), Nigeria's NDPA 2023, South Africa's POPIA, Kenya's DPA 2019, and Ghana's DPA 2012.
Absolutely. dokitab supports Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) deployment safely by running all client-side PHI data strictly in-memory (no local cache persistence of patient records), preventing operating-system-level screenshot captures, obscuring the application's visual preview when backgrounded, and implementing a location geofencing mechanism that locks access if the device leaves the hospital premises.
