The lab software for Nigerian diagnostics: intake to MLSCN-signed report, straight into your patient's WhatsApp, working through every power cut.
This is ORD-0913, the report above. Four moments, one afternoon, no paper register and no results book.
Patient, tests and referrer in one screen. Consent is captured with the order, so delivery is settled before the sample is drawn.
The network was down. Results saved to the device, flags computed against each reference range, and everything synced at 14:29.
Mr. Ajayi reviewed the flags and released the order. His licence number and the exact time are written into the record, permanently.
A secure link, valid for 72 hours, sent the minute the order was released. Email is the fallback and a printed copy is always at the desk.
MLSCN rules say only a licensed medical laboratory scientist releases results. In most labs that lives in a policy file. In LabTaaS it lives in the software: an expired licence cannot sign, a critical value cannot be released without acknowledgement, and every attempt is logged.
When an inspector asks who signed what, the answer is one search, not a week of digging through registers.
Most small labs run on a paper register or a LIMS built for hospitals abroad. Here is the honest difference, situation by situation.
| The paper register | Typical LIMS | LabTaaS | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power cut mid-shift | Works, until the book is lost or wet | Waits for internet to come back | Keeps capturing offline, syncs itself |
| Result reaches the patient | They travel back to collect it | A portal login most patients skip | WhatsApp at sign-off, email fallback, print at desk |
| Who can release a result | Whoever holds the pen | Any user with the permission box ticked | Only a valid MLSCN licence, enforced in software |
| Patient consent | A signature line, if remembered | A checkbox nobody audits | Numbered NDPA records, checked before every send |
| What it costs | Free, until an inspection or a lost book | A quote after the demo call, plus setup fees | ₦25,000 to ₦80,000 a month, on this page |
Offline capture, WhatsApp and email delivery, QR-verified PDF reports, consent records and the audit trail are in every plan.
Every plan starts with a demo on your own test menu. No setup fee during the pilot, cancel any month.
Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act, LabTaaS operates strictly as your data processor. The agreement that says so is signed during onboarding, before the first patient record exists, and the platform operator never sees clinical data.
No message goes out without a numbered consent record for that channel. Withdrawals apply the moment they are made.
Results, sign-offs, deliveries and consent changes land in an append-only audit log your lab can produce on inspection.
Result links die after 72 hours. Reports carry a QR code that anyone, including employers and embassies, can scan to confirm authenticity.
The Data Processing Agreement is versioned. When it changes, directors review and accept the new version before continuing.
Your lab does, always. Under the NDPA your lab is the data controller and LabTaaS is your processor. If you leave, you take your data with you.
The staff app keeps working. Registrations and results save on the device, queue up, and sync automatically when the connection returns. Nothing is lost and nobody waits.
At sign-off, the patient gets a message from your lab's WhatsApp business number with a secure link that expires after 72 hours. No app to install, no account to create. Patients without WhatsApp get email or a printed copy at the desk.
You start with your own test menu and prices loaded for you, and the front desk registers the next patient in the app instead of the book. There is no data migration project because the register stays as your archive.
No. LabTaaS runs in the browser on the phones and laptops your staff already carry. The staff app installs from a link, not an app store.
Founding labs get hands-on setup with their own test menu, a direct line to the people building the product, and their founding price held for 12 months. The demo takes twenty minutes, on WhatsApp.
