Video consultations
Twenty minutes with a GP, in your browser. No app to install, and a fallback to audio when the network is poor.
What it will coverA doctor on video.
We are building it now.
Beta-Lyfe will connect you to a licensed Nigerian doctor over video, without a waiting room. It does not exist yet — we are mid-build, and this page is where we say honestly how far along we are.
One email when the beta opens. Nothing else, and no sharing your address with anyone.
What we are building
Three things, done properly, before anything else.
A short list is the only way a small team ships something that works. Everything else waits.
Prescriptions you can use
Sent to you by email after the call, to take to any licensed pharmacy. Delivery partnerships come later, if at all.
How that will workA dashboard for doctors
Set your own hours, see your queue, write notes. If the doctor side is bad, the patient side does not matter.
Join as a doctorHow it will work
Three steps, when it opens.
This is the flow we are building and testing. If it changes before launch, we will change this page rather than quietly ship something else.
- 1
Tell us what is wrong
A short form — symptoms, how long, any medication you already take. Plain words, no medical vocabulary needed.
- 2
Pick a doctor and a time
You see who is free and what they charge before you commit. During the beta there is nothing to pay.
- 3
Talk, then get treated
The call opens in your browser. Notes and any prescription follow by email the same day.
Being straight with you
What this will never be.
Some of these are because we are new. Others are permanent — no amount of engineering makes a video call the right way to examine an abdomen. We would rather set the boundary now than walk it back later.
- An emergency service. Chest pain, heavy bleeding, difficulty breathing — call 112.
- A substitute for a physical examination or a scan.
- A source of controlled drugs or opioid painkillers.
- Antenatal care, or anything past 20 weeks of pregnancy.
- A 24-hour service. We will open with weekday and Saturday hours only.
- An HMO, an insurer, or a pharmacy. We are none of those things.
Planned prices
What we intend to charge.
One price per visit, paid once — no subscription and no membership tier. These are our intentions, not a price list; nothing is final until the beta ends.

Why bother
It started with a queue.
Our founder once spent four hours in a Lagos waiting room with a feverish child, for a five-minute consultation and a prescription for paracetamol. The medicine was right. The four hours were not.
Most of what sends people to a clinic in Nigeria does not need a building. It needs a licensed doctor with fifteen unhurried minutes and the authority to write a prescription.
That is the entire product. We have not built it yet — but that is what we are building, and we would rather tell you the truth about where we are than dress up a launch that has not happened.
Get involved early
We need three kinds of people.
Patients
Try the beta free, tell us where it is confusing or slow, and help us find out what breaks before anyone pays for it.

Not a launch feature, but we would like to talk to you now so that the prescriptions we write are ones you can actually fill.
Start a conversationQuestions
The four we get most.
Can I book a doctor today?
No. Nothing is bookable yet — there is no doctor to connect you to and no consultation to pay for. Join the early-access list and you will hear from us the day that changes. If you need a doctor now, please see one in person.
When does it open?
A private beta comes first, for a small invited group. We are deliberately not publishing a public launch date, because we do not yet know one we could keep. Join the early-access list and you will hear from us the day that changes.
Will your doctors be properly licensed?
Yes — every doctor will be checked against the MDCN register before their first consultation, and re-checked annually. We are recruiting now; no doctor has seen a Beta-Lyfe patient yet, because there have been none.
What happens to my data if you never launch?
Right now we hold nothing but the name, email and phone number you give the early-access form. If we shut down or change direction, we delete it and tell you we have. You can ask us to delete it at any point before that.

Leave your details and we will invite you to the private beta. One email, no newsletter, no sharing your address.
