Aiming to revolutionize healthcare delivery in Nigeria, London-based IT expert Demilade Okewale has introduced a groundbreaking telemedicine app, TeleDoc, at an event in Ikeja, Lagos. Co-founded by Okewale and Kiki Okewale, the app is designed to make healthcare more accessible, particularly for underserved communities, by harnessing technology to enhance service delivery.
During the launch, Demilade Okewale, who serves as the chief technology officer of TeleDoc, emphasized the crucial role technology plays in modern healthcare. “In a rapidly changing world, healthcare must evolve alongside technology. With TeleDoc, we are committed to transforming how healthcare is delivered in Nigeria,” he said.
He described TeleDoc as a game-changer in telemedicine, making healthcare more flexible, accessible, and efficient for both doctors and patients. “With TeleDoc, Nigerians can bypass high costs and long waiting times while receiving personalized care from doctors who truly understand their needs—all from the convenience of their homes or offices,” Okewale explained.
Highlighting the app’s benefits for professionals and patients alike, he said TeleDoc allows healthcare providers to take control of their digital practices while enabling patients to access top-quality care from anywhere in the world. “Whether you’re in Lagos, London, or New York, TeleDoc connects you with leading Nigerian specialists, bridging the healthcare gap for the diaspora community.”
Okewale also stressed the importance of availability, noting that TeleDoc operates 24/7. “Healthcare doesn’t wait, and neither should patients. Our platform ensures seamless access at any time, ensuring that both doctors and patients can connect without any hassle.”
As an IT and security consultant, Okewale reassured users about the platform’s security, explaining that protecting sensitive medical data was a top priority. “TeleDoc is built with the highest security standards, based on the CIA Triad—Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability,” he said. “All communications between doctors and patients are encrypted to ensure data privacy. Users can trust that their information is secure and accessible only to authorized personnel.”
With the introduction of TeleDoc, Okewale hopes to close the gap in healthcare access, providing a cutting-edge solution for both Nigerians at home and abroad.
