Why Offline-First EMR is Essential for Nigerian Healthcare
Across Nigeria, healthcare facilities face erratic power supply, fluctuating diesel fuel costs, and intermittent fiber or mobile data connectivity. Cloud-only EMR systems that lock doctors out whenever the internet disconnects are dangerous in clinical environments.
DokiTab solves this through a resilient offline-first architecture. Clinical staff can record vitals, nursing handover notes, drug administrations, and billing transactions on standard low-power tablets (5W). All data is cached locally in an encrypted SQLite database and automatically synchronizes to the cloud when connectivity returns.
