London-based Nigerian IT expert, Demilade Okewale, has unveiled a telemedicine app, TeleDoc, in Ikeja, Lagos.
Okewale co-founded the application with Kiki Okewale to make healthcare more accessible and transform service delivery to the underserved.
Speaking at the event, Demilade, chief technology officer of TeleDoc, said in an evolving world where technology rules, healthcare is no exception.
He said the team had been working to revolutionise healthcare delivery in Nigeria by leveraging technology.
“TeleDoc will revolutionise healthcare. The platform is in the forefront of telemedicine, making healthcare more flexible, accessible, and efficient for doctors and patients.
“With TeleDoc, Nigerians can avoid high costs, skip long waits and get quality personalised care from doctors who know their needs virtually from their homes and offices.”
He said by putting professionals in control of their digital practice, patients can access quality care from anywhere.
“We recognise the needs of Nigerians, at home and abroad, and designed TeleDoc to cater to those challenges. Whether you’re in Lagos, London, or New York, you can consult with top Nigerian specialists, bridging the healthcare gap for diaspora community.
“Healthcare doesn’t wait, and neither should patients. That’s why availability is key to TeleDoc’s infrastructure. We’ve built a system to ensure the platform remains accessible 24/7, enabling doctors and patients to connect without hassles,” Okewale noted.
Sharing insight into the technology behind TeleDoc and its secure and seamless experience, Okewale, an IT and Security consultant, said in healthcare, trust is essential, especially when it comes to handling sensitive medical data.
“That’s why we designed TeleDoc with highest security, ensuring our users can use the platform without concerns about data breaches or privacy violations,” Okewale said.
He added: “The foundation of our security strategy lies in the CIA Triad – Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. On TeleDoc, communication between doctors and patients are protected to ensure sensitive data remains private. Users can rest assured that their details are secure and accessible only to authorised individuals.’’
