A global initiative of The Job Adel Consulting Inc and Doctors On Call Health Support Initiative (NovaDOC)
NovaDOC is a mobile referral startup that allows people to receive answers to their medical and non medical enquiries 24 hours a day from verified doctors, paramedics, teachers, employment and business consultants via SMS, mobile app and web. With an average of 2 doctors to every 10,000 people, Africa has the lowest Doctor to Patient ratio in the world.
Further compounding this is the fact that large numbers of doctors emigrate abroad for better opportunities, creating a talented but inaccessible pool of doctors. Thus many do not have the means to regularly access a doctor and those with the means endure inefficient hospital systems.
This creates a climate that makes it difficult for Africans to get the right information to live healthier lives and allows the widespread propagation of misleading information, worsening an already dire health situation as people do not have the right information to take the right action.
NovaDOC users can send their questions via in-app chats, audio or video, SMS or web. NovaDOC then routes it to the provider expert of choice on the app who then provides an answer. This answer is then relayed to the user.
Nowadays, there is the need to assess yourself first..virtually..before visiting the hospital. Most reasons revolving around the need to reduce risk as well as basic convenience. NovaDOC aims to bridge this gap.
The mobile application connects to relevant help regardless of your gender, race, or special need.
The Founder and CEO, Dr Adejobi Adeloye is a doctor and life coach who loves integrating artificial intelligent technology into healthcare, education and emergency response
Providers who signed up on the app had to provide their credentials. The credentials are then evaluated by NovaDOC’s team, before a doctor is cleared to answer questions on the app."
