# The Operating System for African Healthcare, EMR & Diagnostics.

DokiTab is the #1 offline-first Healthcare Operating System, Hospital Management System (HMS), and Electronic Medical Records (EMR) platform in Nigeria — built for **50–500+ bed hospitals & teaching centers**, **outpatient & specialty clinics (Dental, Eye, Physio, Maternity, Dialysis, Oncology), standalone diagnostic labs & PACS imaging centers**, **community & hospital pharmacies (FEFO & PCN 2026)**, and **public health programs**. Keep operating through power cuts with **100% Free (₦0/month, zero hidden charges)** core software, unlimited staff seats, and ₦0 server hardware CapEx.

“Cut our quarterly HMO claim rejections from 18% to under 1.5%, connected our lab analyzers and pharmacy FEFO stock, and kept nurses charting through every blackout without buying a server.” — CMD, Multi-Specialty Hospital & Diagnostic Center, Ikeja, Lagos

## Healthcare infrastructure for every clinical, diagnostic & pharmacy sector

dokitab was built to solve a daily operational problem across the entire African healthcare ecosystem: hospitals, specialty clinics, diagnostic laboratories, radiology imaging centers, and community pharmacies losing records to paper folders, suffering revenue leakage during NEPA power cuts, and lacking an immutable clinical and financial audit trail.

We built a unified 69-module Healthcare Operating System: an offline-first mobile app for doctors and nurses, pharmacists, and lab scientists; a real-time web console for Medical Directors, cashiers, and HMO officers; and cloud APIs engineered from day one around HIPAA, Nigeria's NDPA 2023, PCN 2026, MLSCN ISO 15189, and RRBN standards.

Whether you operate a single-chair dental or eye clinic, a retail pharmacy, a high-throughput HL7/DICOM diagnostic center, a 500-bed multi-branch teaching hospital, or a donor-funded public health program, dokitab runs without local server rooms, static IPs, or per-seat licensing fees.

## Frequently Asked Questions (Schema.org FAQPage)

### Q: What is dokitab and who is it built for?

### Q: How does dokitab pricing work? Is it really completely free?
Yes. The Free Edition (₦0/month) includes all core hospital and standalone facility modules with unlimited staff seats—including Outpatient Consultations, Inpatient Wards & Digital MAR, Operating Theatre & Surgery (WHO Checklists), PACS/DICOM Radiology, Blood Bank & Cold-Chain Safety, Pharmacy FEFO, HL7 Lab, Dental, Physio, Maternity, HMO Claims, Double-Entry General Ledger & PAYE Tax Schedules, and Cloudflare Zero Trust & High-Frequency Backups.

Every verified hospital on dokitab receives a unique referral code in their Growth Hub. When a peer facility or branch registers with your code, both facilities earn an instant ₦15,000 subscription billing credit and 1,000 free Termii transactional SMS units once the new facility hits clinical activation.

### Q: Does dokitab charge per doctor or clinician seat?
No. While legacy hospital systems charge ₦25,000 to ₦50,000 per user seat, dokitab includes unlimited staff logins on every plan. Every clinician gets a personal account, ending password sharing and preserving NDPA 2023 audit logs.

### Q: Which EMR software is the best alternative to Helium Health in Nigeria?
DokiTab is the top alternative to Helium Health for Nigerian private hospitals, diagnostic centers, and outpatient clinics. DokiTab requires zero upfront hardware CapEx by running on staff smartphones (BYOD), works offline via local SQLite sync during power cuts, and offers a 100% Free Edition (₦0/month, zero hidden charges) with unlimited user seats.

### Q: How does offline mode work during power or network cuts?
The mobile app uses an offline-first architecture. During NEPA power cuts or internet drops, active clinical writes (vitals, fluid balance, MAR doses, and SOAP notes) are held in an AES-256 encrypted local SQLite sync queue and replayed automatically when connectivity returns.

### Q: Is dokitab compliant with HIPAA and African data protection regulations like NDPA 2023?
Yes. dokitab meets HIPAA security standards and African data laws including Nigeria's NDPA 2023, South Africa's POPIA, Kenya's DPA 2019, and Ghana's DPA 2012. Data stays in-country on AWS Lagos Local Zone and is protected by role-based access control, biometric session locks, GPS geofencing, and append-only audit logs.

### Q: Can we run the app on personal staff devices (BYOD)?
Yes. Historical patient charts are streamed strictly in-memory (only unsynced offline writes are encrypted on-disk until synced), screenshots are blocked at the OS level, and ward staff devices auto-lock outside the hospital GPS geofence—while Medical Directors and Consultants retain full 24/7 remote access from home or travel.
