Describe how you feel in English, Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo. HelloDoc asks a few careful questions, tells you what to do next, and points you to a pharmacy, lab or clinic near you if you need one.
HelloDoc is an AI health assistant, not a human doctor. In an emergency, call 112 or go to the nearest hospital.

Illustrative call, not a real patient
A basic phone works as well as a smartphone. If you can make a call, you can use HelloDoc.
It is a normal voice call. Nothing to download, no internet needed and nothing to read.
Talk in English, Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo, the way you would talk to a pharmacist.
A call takes about five minutes. You talk, HelloDoc listens, and you hang up knowing exactly what to do.
HelloDoc first asks if anyone is in danger. If it sounds like an emergency, it tells you to call 112 or go to the nearest hospital straight away.
Use your own words and your own language. HelloDoc tells you it is an AI, then listens.
Short, simple questions, one at a time, based on Nigerian treatment guidelines.
Home care, safe medicines you can buy, and what to watch for. If you need to be seen, it tells you where to go and how soon.
No need to find the right medical words. Say it the way you would say it to a friend, and HelloDoc will ask what it needs to know.
If something needs a health worker to see you in person, HelloDoc will tell you, and tell you how soon.

Health advice has to be safe before it is clever. These rules sit around every call.
Every call starts by telling you HelloDoc is not a human doctor, so you always know who you are talking to.
Fixed safety rules send you to 112 or the nearest hospital the moment a danger sign comes up, whatever else is said.
Licensed Nigerian doctors write HelloDoc's guidance and check a sample of calls every week.
We ask before anything is recorded. Your health information is never sold, and it is protected under Nigerian data law.
When a caller needs medicine, a test or a check-up, HelloDoc sends them to a partner close to home.
We are testing HelloDoc with 200 people across Nigeria. Leave your number and we will call you. The call is free.
Thank you. We'll call you soon. The call will start with HelloDoc saying it's an AI health assistant.
