Say when we are the wrong option
If a case needs hands, a hospital or a scan, the doctor will stop the consultation, refund it and say where to go. Turning people away is designed into the product, not bolted on.
About us
Four people, one small idea, no launch yet.
Beta-Lyfe is a telehealth platform being built out of a two-room office on Adeola Odeku. We have no patients, no consultation history and nothing to boast about — so here is what we do have.
Why we started
It started with a queue.
In 2025 our founder spent four hours in a Lagos clinic waiting room with a child who had a fever, to be given a five-minute consultation and a prescription for paracetamol. The medicine was correct. 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 whole product, and it is the only thing we are building.
We are not a platform, a marketplace or a health-tech ecosystem — not because we have outgrown the ambition, but because we have not earned it. First we have to prove that one patient can talk to one doctor and come away better off.
How we intend to work
Four rules, written down before we can break them.
Easy to say now, while there is no revenue pulling the other way. That is exactly why we are publishing them now — so you can hold us to them later.
One doctor, one patient, twenty minutes
No double-booking and no queue targets in the scheduling system. We are building it that way from the start, because it is nearly impossible to retrofit once volume arrives.
Your record is yours
Encrypted, held on servers in Nigeria, exportable as a PDF on request. We will not run ads and will not sell data — and there is no investor pressure to, because we have not taken any yet.
Publish the price, and the progress
Planned prices are on the services page and the build status is on the home page, including the parts that are late.
Who is building it
The four of us in the office.
Two clinical, two not. Engineering is contracted for the build phase.

Non-clinical
Doctors
We are recruiting our first doctors.
There is no roster to show you yet, and we are not going to invent one. If you are MDCN-licensed and interested in sessional work on hours you set yourself, we would like to talk.
Register your interestWhat we are offering
- Sessional work, your own availability, no minimum hours
- Twenty-minute slots that are not double-booked
- A dashboard built with doctors, not at them
- Professional indemnity cover for consultations on the platform
What we will need from you
- A current MDCN licence and folio number, verified before your first slot
- A stable connection and a private room to consult from
- Patience with a beta, and a willingness to tell us what is wrong with it
What we will be
- A registered private clinic operating by video, on weekday and Saturday hours.
- Staffed only by doctors verified against the MDCN register.
- Able to prescribe, request lab work and refer you onward with a letter.
- Covered by professional indemnity insurance from the first consultation.
What we are not
- Open. Nothing is bookable and no doctor is on call.
- An emergency service — there will be no ambulance and no night shift.
- A hospital. No beds, no theatre, no imaging, ever.
- An HMO, an insurer or a pharmacy.
Since we are not open, nothing on this site is an offer of medical care. If you are unwell today, see a doctor in person. For chest pain, difficulty breathing, heavy bleeding, a seizure or thoughts of harming yourself, call 112 or Lagos State on 767 and go to the nearest hospital.
